Hello, this is my first attempt to build a gaming PC. I play games such as Skyrim, Arma 2 & 3, Bf4, etc. 

I need help in seeing if this would run well or if it needs adjustments.

Please help! Give me your input on what I should do/change.

Get a 4790k with a Z97 board and dual 970s. No point in buying outdated* hardware.

If you're ONLY gaming, get a 4690k instead of the 4790k. 

*Outdated as in there's newer better options.

I can't tell if you were being serious or not, but there is a TON of room for you to save money,

^That's a cheaper build that'll run all those games more or less maxed out and there is still some money to be saved.

The monitor is a 1440p 144hz g sync monitor (basically the best gaming monitor currently available).
 
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

White themed build, and a rather nice one too.
