I'm looking to get my first gaming PC. I did a good bit of research and talked to my roommates to get me this far. I'm looking to play DayZ, ARMA 3, Farcry, Battlefield, Etc. Etc.Also will be using dual monitors.

The computer's specs should handle all of these (chime in if I'm wrong about this.) I'm mostly concerned with compatibility issues.

Make suggestions or change things around. Looking to stay under $900. Thanks in advance!

Hello

You do not need liquid cooling; air is usually cheaper, easier, quieter and just as good. In fact, I would use the stock cooler on that CPU.
The cost-benefit of that CPU for gaming over even the 4440, is very small. At current prices, I would not go past the 4460 unless I wanted to overclock.
I like the slightly more expensive S2PV, but I do not know that DS2V well.
I would want a better PSU than that, starting with an Antec VP450, and going up to a Basiq 550 semi-modular, or even an XFX. A Seasonic 380 would also be fine. I'd want enough overhead to be able to replace the GPU with a 970 or similar later. For the GPU you have selected, even a good 300-350W PSU will do, if it has the right cables.
