Hello. I am building a computer for the first time this summer and I was wondering whether this would be a compatible build for Gaming. Please comment as you see fit. Advice is appreciated!

I would look at a less expensive video card, such as the 6870 or 7850 models. A high end video card loses it's value quickly as soon as it's replacement model comes out. I also find good deals on new or used cases on craigslist. I've gotten some for free.
