HI , I want to build my very first gaming PC , and I really need opinions about this build that I am about to buy, my goal is to build a gaming PC that can play any game on the maximum settings, and it will be nice if I can also play with 4K resolutions and good FPS , also I want it to be VR ready .

Overall great looking build.

The only things I would personally change are the motherboard and RAM. At the $200 mark I personally recommend the Asus Maximus VIII, it's a fantastic overclocker and extremely well reviewed.

Motherboard: Asus MAXIMUS VIII HERO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($199.99 @ B&H)
Total: $199.99
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

If you're interested in reading a few of the professional reviews of the Asus Maximus VII I've included a few below. Each of these websites perform rigorous testing which you can read about in the articles:

TweakTown: "ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero (Intel Z170) Motherboard Review "
Overclockers Club: "ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero Review"
guru3d: "ASUS Z170 ROG Maximus VIII Hero review - Product Showcase"

TweakTown Result: 'Must have, Best Overclocking Award'
Overclockers Club Result: 'OCC Gold Award'
guru3d Result: 'Guru3d Recommended

As far as RAM goes, what you have will certainly work, but the Ripjaws V are one of the best-performing DDR4 models available right now if you could afford a few dollars more:

Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($95.89 @ OutletPC)
Total: $95.89
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

You're most welcome, both are great choices.

Nothing else catches my eye, but definitley keep an eye on the thread for a little bit in case someone else has their 2 cents to add.
