Thoughts On My First Gaming Rig ($1,200 Budget)

Hey everyone,
Since some great community members helped me understand how much I would save by building my own computer, I thought I'd give it a try. What do you think of the following build:

I'm a little concerned about two things: 1) the fact that there's no additional cooling unit for the CPU and 2) only having 8 gigs of ram. Thoughts?

Good build, I would go with an EVGA b2/S2/G2 PSU. My research showed me that the supernova nex have failed a lot.
