Yeah those will work but I'm going to assume this is for gaming correct? You could switch some stuff around and get better gaming performance.

Where should I start....

What is your budget? Location?

If this is going to be used only for games, replace the i7 with an i5 4670K and overclock it a bit, or if you REALLY want or need an i7, get the 4770K and overclock that. Motherboard - you can easily pay 100 $ dollars less for one that will be just as good. You can use that money on a better GPU instead. Also, your PSU is WAY too big, 500-550W should be enough on a quality unit. Also, you should get an SSD, since you are getting such a high-end rig.

Do you already have the OS or are you buying it? If you are getting a new OS, get Windows 8.1, 7 has no benefits compared to 8.1.

For MOBO get. It is a solid no frills gaming motherboard. I have one it's super solid and pretty good looking.

For CPU get 

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116899&cm_re=i5_4670k-_-19-116-899-_-Product

It is pretty much the same performance it's cheaper and is a K edition meaning you can overclock it in the future for improved performance.

and replace your GPU with

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127741&cm_re=GTX_770-_-14-127-741-_-Product

The GTX 770 is a very solid card and with the money you save on your MOBO and CPU it will still cost about the same : D

Everyone will make a different build for me but how can I choose which one to get? For example Asus vs MSI vs ASRock motherboards and etc

Having an ssd and a separate hdd is a much better configuration. Most sshds only come with 4-8gb of ssd memory on it that it uses for your most used applications, buying them separate will allow you more flexibility on which programs are on the ssd, and give you more ssd space. A standalone ssd will have much faster read and write speeds than an sshd too. Also, an ssd and hdd fit in your budget,

Because no SSHD has as much flash capacity as an actual SSD.

Pretty much all Z87 motherboards are going to be just as good, unless you really want some fancy features. 

 

oops double post sorry

A lot of it is subjective, usually it comes down to looks honestly. First compare the specs of something you are comparing, if thry match up then get the lower priced one, or whichever one looks cooler to you. When it comes to picking pc parts, it is very important you are open to all brands because you will probably find that one brand doesnt have good pricing on everything and using different brands per item will usually save you money. If you have any questions feel free to ask, or you can message me :)

No problem, I think a lot of people here forget that there is a real person behind each profile and that shoving a build in their face probably wont help as much as explaining and answering questions.

Also I see Windows 8.1 Update and Pro Update whats the difference?
