Hey guys, how's it going? Gylfi3_ here and I'm planning in the distant-ish future to build a high end gaming pc. I am going to want to play high end games such as BF4, DayZ Standalone, Star Citizen, The Division, Crysis 3, ect. This will be my first ever pc build. I have here a list of components that I with my very little knowledge of computers have scrounged up.

CPU: Intel i7-4820K LGA 2011 64 Bit ($324.27 @ Amazon
CPU Cooler: ARCTIC Alpine 11 Pro Rev. 2 CPU Cooler - Intel ($20.68 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth X79 LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard ($314.99 @ Amazon)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8 GB (2x4 GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) 240-Pin DDR3 Memory Kit for Core i3, i5, i7 ($104.98 X2 @ Amazon)

Mouse: Razer Mamba Rechargable Wireless PC Gaming Mouse ($98.94 @ Amazon)
Speakers: N/A (Will be using a headset)
Mouse Pad: SteelSeries QcK Gaming Mouse Pad ($9.98 @ Amazon)
Total:

I want to know if all this is sufficient for high end gaming. I also want to know if it will all run smoothly together. I know I probably am missing things on my list so if you find any thing missing could you please post what i missed with a suggested product and a price on amazon.

Thank you all in advance,
Gylfi3_

Best bet for info on what software etc comes with those mobo's is to look them up on the manufacturers website or a quickie version can usually be found at newegg.com. As the boards are comparable performance-wise, it'll come down to which you think better suites your needs and tastes.
