I threw together that of the parts I want/need. Please tell me if it is good and tweak it wherever necessary. I would like to keep in the 800 range and am US based. Thanks!

If I were you and this would be a purely gaming rig I would probably switch the ssd and add the money on a better graphics card. But that's just me.

It's not entirely gaming like I would still do school work on it but it is mainly for gaming

if you go for a ssd get a 250 or 500GB one.  128gb arent worth the money

get a pentium and a 970 No bottle neck and you get amazing game performance
