Hello, I have been thinking of purchasing a gaming PC for a very long time now and I think it's time to go through with it. Since January of this year, I have been planning to purchase a gaming PC on Black Friday. My build has changed a lot from then so I need your help in rating my proposed build and making changes to it. This would be my first build/computer ever so I do need a lot of help. Here's a brief overview of me. I'm a 14 and a freshman in high school. I enjoy computers and I think it would be an awesome experience building one. I plan to use the PC for gaming, schoolwork, surfing the web, and editing photos/videos. Since it's my first PC, I will need a new monitor, OS, keyboard and mouse. I think I need help on deciding the mobo, hdd, ram and psu.
Approx. Purchase Date: Black Friday
Budget Range: Less than $1350
Location: St. Louis, Missouri
Preferred Websites/Places for Parts: 1) Actual MicroCenter Store 2) microcenter.com 3) newegg.com 4) amazon.com

How is the build overall? Feel free to make any recommendations/changes! I would love reccomendations for a mouse, keyboard and especially with the monitor. I have a question about the Ram which is it better to have 1.65v or 1.5v?
Thanks,
Ryan
