I am building my first computer. I will be using it for gaming. Here is what I have selected:

case - IN WIN GRone Gray 0.8mm SECC Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case

power - EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2 220-G2-0850-XR 850W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Power Supply Intel 4th Gen CPU

mobo - ASUS A88X-PRO FM2+ / FM2 AMD A88X (Bolton D4) HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

cpu - AMD A10-6800K Richland 4.1GHz (4.4GHz Turbo) Socket FM2 100W Quad-Core Desktop Processor - Black Edition AMD Radeon HD 8670D

cpu cooler - haven't piced one out yet.

memory 16 gb 2400 maybe team vulcan?

ASUS Black 12X BD-ROM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM SATA Internal Blu-ray Drive Model BC

Do I need a video card with this? Is the WD hard drive worth getting or would a 1TB 7200 work just as well?

here upgraded with full tower and 1000watt gold rated ps

 
After driving myself crazy for awhile with too many options I have changed my build using some of your suggestions - can you take a look and let me know what you think? The Seasonic psu is on sale tomorrow for $99 so I though I would use that.

Questions - It looks from reviews like the cool master cpu cooler is hard too install - what are your thoughts on that?
Also it looks like that memory won't work with the mobo?
