First build, Looking for Opinions!

[FoxMcCloud]

Hey everyone! I'm currently in the process of building my first gaming PC! I'm extremely excited but , at the same time, apprehensive about the proper part choices. I'm looking for opinions and any knowledge about my current choices! Thanks everyone! http://pcpartpicker.com/user/FoxMcCloud/saved/4pqW
