As it says in the thread title, I'm planning on building my first PC. I want a decent computer for gaming. I put together a part list here: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/RyRkf8
Is this a good PC for gaming? I want something decent, it doesn't need to be top of the line. Is anything here overkill? Did I screw up and forget anything important? Is this good enough for what I need? My budget is no more than $1250, and preferably less than $1000.
Thanks

GraySilencer, that reference RX480 8GB sold out a while ago and it was likely a clearing stock sale at that price with no certain term that it would ever be available again.

I would build something based off of this particular parametric list. Everyday, prices and stock changes - so the parametric list makes sure you get the best deal. Updated to newer cards and coolers

There is one main thing I would change about this build, and that is to upgrade the cooler to a Cryorig H5. it is about 15 dollars more, and a amazing cooler even for overclocking. My Core i7 4790k (stock) runs at 55 on the intel stress test.
