I was wondering if anyone could help me with my build, I have never built before, and I have nothing for the build. My budget is 1200$ and I am looking for the best experience I can get with that amount of money for gaming. Any input would be appreciated.

This will be prioritized for gaming, but I will also be using it for some Youtube and web browsing and some other small tasks

 

Questions I have:

Is that enough wattage?

Is the RAM speed good enough for a while?

Do not buy a Hyper 212. You're going to have a rough time if you've never built before. The Hyper 212 is extremely cheap and that's exactly how it performs. Get something else.

I recommend something like an Arctic Freezer 33 eSports One, it's nearly the same price (at least here in the UK), is much easier to install, and is way better in terms of performance.

If you can afford it, get a bigger SSD.

i have them on my 6 core Xeon's and the temps are very good. never above 60 celsius. 

i will say the mounting is tricky especially if you've never built before.
