Yep it looks good.

You should be able to hammer through a few of the latest game with the system parts you have chosen.
The power supply should power the system without any problems.
Cpu cooler is good.
Memory is good 8Gb fine for gaming.

Might of wanted to opt for a SSD drive just for faster loading of the Os or games you wish to play Tbomb, if you plan on getting one I would start off with a 250 Gb Samsung SSD.
But the WD 1TB will be fine.

Nice one !

Either way Nex power supplies aren't very good quality. Had an old one that died on me a week after purchasing back when they came out.
Anyway, i'll get to the point.
Get a G2 Gold PSU or a Corsair RM series.
spend the extra little bit and grab 2x8Gb of RAM, as most games are starting to recommend 8GB, and this is likely to increase with graphical fidelity.
Blues are typically only recommended for secondary storage, so if possible get the WD Black.

I'm going to stick with the NEX mainly because it's what the employee at a computer store recommended and I looked at the Western Digital Caviar Black and they're like 400$ lol. 1TB is plenty enough for me. Thanks for helping me out though? May I ask whats the difference between a G2 and a NEX?

Not really......
Not assembling them correctly is like putting plug A in hole B, which is very hard to do.
The quality of the nex units is to do with the low quality capacitors and rails, resulting in voltage instabilities, not assembly.
The RM series is fine.
The RMx is the less high end one.

Whats the difference between a G2 and a NEX? Is the G2 just a newer model?

short story: evga doesn't make power supplies they just put a sticker on it.
g2 is made by super flower based on a high end leadeX platform, a very stable and very reliable unit.
nex is made by FSP(they make some good units too) good for basic activity, not meant for high end gaming or ocing.
