Intro:
Greetings everyone, I am potentially switching gaming platforms from console to PC. I have been researching parts and how to vids on building one, DYI. I'm still new and learning, but trying my best at the same time. Any help of and positive feedback would be greatly appreciated. I intend to do some gaming such as BF4, War Thunder, and Star Citizen when it is released in a year or two.

Problem:
1st PC build for approximately $700 (American Dollars) (The total is $1,000 ,but $100 will be for OS and $200 for monitor.)

Possible Solution:
So here is my list of all the parts I have found and a rough draft of my build:

• [strike]$50 Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811855001
• $35 Power: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152028
• $80 Mother: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131872
• $140 CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113327
• $85 RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231460
• $190 GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150605
• $60 Storage: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236339
• $20 Optc Drv: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204
• $200 Moniter
• $100 Windows7:

Approximate Total is $960 [/strike]

Ok, so I have re-updated my build to the following from the suggestions:

You don't even have a monitor ? Gosh ! It's a good build, but I would suggest raising a bit your budget. Here is great build for around 1000$ with the OS.

Thanks to both of you guys, this really helps a lot! :)

Edit: I understand the PSU, but what is wrong with the case? And any suggestions?
2nd Edit: I posted my new updated build in my first post, if anyone can just double check to make sure that looks good, that would be wonderful! Thank you!
