Hello
This is my first time building my own pc, these are the parts I chose. I was wondering if a 800w power supply is going to be enough and if my cpu will bottleneck. Also if any of you guys own similar parts please tell me if you dislike or like them and why. Thanks

Sorry for noob question

Yeah I agree that you can definitely do better for $1400. The Antec 900 was a great case back in the day but now it's old, outdated and has no cable management. Rosewill PSUs are a huge mixed bag - some are great, others not so much.

Here's what you should get IMO:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($222.00 @ Amazon)
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U9B SE2 37.9 CFM CPU Cooler ($52.98 @ SuperBiiz)
Motherboard: ASRock Z87 Extreme4 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($151.98 @ SuperBiiz)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 Memory ($79.99 @ Newegg)
Storage:...
