Looks good, once it's built and Windows is installed make sure to download your drivers for the motherboard and GPU. When those are done I would go into the BIOS and overclock the memory to 3200mhz as that should give you a few more FPS for gaming and if/when needed overclock your CPU, 3.6-3.7 should be achievable on the stock cooler.

this is great but im trying to get all the parts from one shop and ordering online isnt really a choice
i was thinking about getting the 2600 instead of 1700,whats your opinion on that and can you recommend me some last gen motherboards for the 2600?

There fairly easy to do but you'll want to do a BIOS update, then update the drivers on the chipset, LAN, Realtek Audio, SATA. If your running RGB lights in your build there's usually software from the motherboard manufacturer that you'll want as well. The BIOS can be tricky but if the shop will do all this stuff for you then have them do it.

Are they going to charge you extra for this? If so this is something you can do yourself as it's pretty easy but the updates I listed above (chipset/LAN/etc).
