suggestions on component specifications

[Disco75]

I'm looking to build my first gaming pc and am a complete noob when it comes to understanding component specifications.  I've found resources to find parts, but I'm clueless when it comes to what specs such as RAM size, SSD size, video card core clock etc, are best for a gaming setup.  I guess i'm just looking for a list of component specifications that is solid for medium to high end gaming instead of specific parts. Below, I've listed the components i'm looking at, and if anyone could tell me good specs for each that can handle High/Ultra settings for games such as Shadows of Mordor, Fallout 4, and The Witcher 3, I'd really appreciate it.  Thank you very much.

P.S. If this is in the wrong section I'm sorry, but I'm a complete noob when it comes to forums.

What is your budget?

[Disco75]

Budget isn't a concern yet. I'm just looking for specs for each component.

 

Example:

 

CPU:

     Cores: 6

     Socket: AM3+

     Speed: 3.5 Ghz

 

Memory: 

    Speed: DDR3-1600

    Type: 240-Pin DIMM

    CAS: 9

 

With this information I'll know what to look for, and from that I can look at specific parts and prices that will fit a budget that I come up with later.

if u want u could go with a i5-6600k and go DDR4 for future proofing

Future proofing doesn't exist except for the case and the PSU.

Here is something I just threw together real quick for if I was building a system to fit needs as you have described. It is very much open to modification/personalization, but for what you want this is where I would start. Know what kind of budget you're working will really help in narrowing the selection down.

There is no such thing as "future proofing", except when discussing cases (and maybe PSUs).
