building a gaming pc for the first time...

[Brandon Greene]

well here we go. this is my first ground up build of a pc. Initially the purpose was to build it for sole purpose of being able to play skyrim on max, but I decided that's rather short sighted. So i thought i would slightly alter my trajectory so as to make it more robust and open it up to other options such as over-clocking etc. But before I go ahead and pull the trigger on what would certainly be an expensive endeavor, i thought i would put out my shopping cart for open discussion/ridicule/scorn. thank you for your time and attention! also, im kind of up in the air about the power supply. suggestions?

You need 4770k socket 1150 , what you choosed is socket 2011 and is not compatible with your mobo.
A 600-650 W power supply from Corsair,Seasonic,Antec,XFX is enough and give you freedom to overclock.
