Sorry for the wall of text, just feel all the info should be presented to avoid any part conflicts.

Oh, forgot to add I'd like to be playing GTA 5, DoTA 2, HOTS, League, WoW, TF2, Advanced Warfare, Battlefield Hardline, and just general gaming.
Thanks!

Good info! If you want to try to find the best prices for all of your parts i would highly recommend http://pcpartpicker.com as it can find the lowest prices online from your selected retailers for any part in the database. In my opinion, if you are buying all of these parts yourself, you should consider getting a better GPU (perhaps a 980) and forgo the i7 processor in favor of an i5. You will see very little difference in Gaming CPU performance and will be able to use that money elsewhere!

I would also suggest getting an SSD to install your operating system and a few of your favorite programs. This will speed up the regular use of your PC considerably. It (should) not change your in-game experience, but will improve load times.

It is a decent pre-build for the price, but building your own PC is a much cheaper and more rewarding endeavor. I would highly recommend building your own due to the much better parts you will be able to afford if you decide to do so.
