I think your ram needs to change, the motherboard takes DDR4 and your kit you are choosing is DDR3.

Your motherboard and processor are incompatible.  Also you seem to be spending a lot of money on the motherboard and skimping on the GPU, which is a bad option.

What is the PSU?

Also the motherboard and CPU will not work together.

What is your budget?

Budget is around 1.3k

I forgot about the PSU, i'll have to find one.

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/XjCvjc  That is if you REALLY want a I7. You can go for a i5 6600k and gtx 1070 if you want more frames in games.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the help.

Oh yeah, don't buy from best buy. Pretty much everything is over priced and outdated.

your motherboard has the wrong socket. it will not work with that CPU or the DDR3 memory.
