First PC Build (Need some tips!)

[JasonTheKappa]

Been saving up for a while and have finally decided to build a PC. I mostly want to use this PC to play games such as the Battlefield Series (BF1, Bad Company 2, etc.), GTA 5, the Borderlands Series, League of Legends, CSGO, and other assorted games. I've asked a few of my friends for help and we have come up with a list, that I think is pretty solid. Also, my budget for my PC is <$850-900. I'm using USD prices and already have my peripherals. I also am going to get all my parts the Micro Center, located in the Twin Cities, in Minnesota. Any help is gladly appreciated. TY!

Not that PSU. GET EVGA GQ/G2. Don't end up with a dead PSU like mine

This looks great to me.

 

Sometimes Microcenter has great deals on CPU + MOBO combo, keep an eye open for that to see if you get something like a 6600k with a z170 motherboard in a similar price range.

750 is overkill right? i assume 550 should suffice
