I'm planning on building a computer for mostly gaming; I play most types of games. I'd like some advice about what I have picked out for hardware. Some key things to note are I am planning on playing on a Dell U2711 IPS monitor (I've made up my mind, I'd rather not turn this into a what monitor is best for gaming thread), I want to keep the build (minus the monitor) under $1300 or so, and I've never done any overclocking before so I'd like this build to be as good as I can get it at stock speeds. Maybe some day I'll learn. The build currently looks like this:
