Hello,
This is my first attempt at building a gaming pc. My current one is way outdated and can no longer keep up haha. Rather than upgrade various parts, I decided its finally time to get a new one and do it myself. I have never done this before but I have always wanted to so I have a few concerns. Also, any tips would be great.
Concerns;
1. Form factor. I am just unsure when it comes to the hardware actually fitting the case.
2. Best performance for dollar. I understand that price isn't everything and that maybe I can save some money with some help from you all.
3. Its an investment, so it should perform well for more than a couple years.
4. Cooling and power. Is what I have in place so far sufficient?
I know I might sound silly, but I truly need some help, so any is greatly appreciated. Tell me where I am going wrong, could do better, and or can save some money but not compromise performance. Here is what I have so far.

UPDATE
Thanks for the responses everyone. I have updated the build to your recommendations. I guess I am going to go ahead and spend a little more haha! Thats definitely ok!
With this updated build I still have wonders as far as everything fitting right with the case. I have looked at the dimensions and it seems as if everything is cool, am I correct?
Here's the updated build.
