Hey guys I'm new here so I apologize if this was the wrong section to post this. I looked through the numerous topics and this seemed to be the best one.
Anyways, I'm somewhat familiar with building desktop computers (I have never actually made my own) and I've decided to finally take that step and try out building one myself. For the past month I've been looking at some parts and trying to figure out a good gaming computer that will be great for the future (I know parts get outdated so fast though).
This is my build and I was wondering if you all could just look it over so I'm sure I haven't missed anything or picked a component that does not match with another. Like I said I'm totally new to building one. Thank you for taking your time to help me out!

Thanks again for the help. The only thing I wasn't totally loving was the motherboard because it seems that ASUS has terrible tech support from what I was reading. I may get a side fan for the case as well. Still up in the air though.
If you think anything in this is overkill please let me know, however I will say that I do like to get up to date parts so I won't have to replace them for a long time. Thanks!
