This will be my first ever pc that I will be building. I'm mostly looking for suggestions for parts. I'm very nervous when it comes to picking good parts.

I'm mostly going to be use at as a gaming PC for stuff like WoW and BF1 along with other games that are going to be released later on. Something that would last me a long time while keeping up with new games would be nice.

If you really want to pinch pennies. Look through slickdeals.com. Also through resellers combo deals. Notably Newegg and Microcenter

If you have a Microcenter nearby you can save even more on the CPU and Motherboard. As an i7-7700K is currently $299. You save an additional $30 on the motherboard when bought together. $385 before tax.

If you want another PSU. I'd stick with at least a 600W PSU and one which is on the Tier 1 or Tier 2 list.
