First Total Build

Hey guys. I was wondering if my plan is good for my first build. the link to my amazon wishlist is: http://amzn.com/w/3NAT978DBHVHQ

 I am 15 and can't get a job for another year so I have been saving money for a while and don't want to mess up. I am mostly going to be playing Minecraft and playing Forza, both on max settings. I want to record using fraps and I may run a Minecraft server occasionally. I already have a case but I couldn't find it online. I will have to keep this computer for a while and it will be overclocked with MSI's OC GENIE. Thanks in advance.

budget? and overclock the card with OC Genie? you will be OCing the CPU right? Only gaming? get a 3570k and 8 gigs of ram and get a better gpu.

I would go with the GD45 Gaming and a 3570k, then you can step up the gpu to something like a 660-660ti.

 

Edit: Also, do you really need 16gb of ram? if yes, take this one: http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Desktop-Memory-CML16GX3M2A1600C10/dp/B007TG8QRW/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1371390625&sr=8-7&keywords=16gb+ddr3 because its cheaper and faster.

3770K isn't really for gaming its for redndering and other editing applications. Yes it will give some more frame rates but just about 4-5 thats it. 

Get 3570k plus asrock extreme 4 mobo or you are good with gigabyte z77x d3h and put some money towards better GPU such as 7950.

And get 8gb ram g skill ripjaws

PSU looks good too.

Thanks guys. I've decided to lower the ram to 8 gigs and will get a 3570k, so I can get a better gpu. I haven't decided which one yet but i will keep this updated as I go. I almost forgot, My budget is about 1000 USD

Great choice 

And if you can post your pictures once you do it.
