I need feedback on my gaming PC

I'm very new to building PCs. I want a simple gaming setup without overclocking. 

 

I need some verification on whether these parts I picked would work well together in a PC.

You do NOT need 32 gigabytes unless your rendering in after effects and thats all your doing

 

Swapped gpu/OS for this (Please wait for the rx 480 if your not too late)

Besides the RAM would everything else work fairly well?

 

EDIT: Would the video card I have selected already work well?

Yes, but the RX 480 is comming out in a week, and is going to be much better for a similar price. you should wait and buy that.

If I were you I would be looking for a better quality PSU, maybe something that is fully modular or 80+ Gold

 

Also, there are many great cases out there that are much better than the Enthoo Pro for even cheaper

 

Third, if you want to save about ~$100 you could go for a mini-itx build, which would perform just as well, but it would be smaller

Would the list I have updated be better overall?
