Would you consider this a good first build?

[Luke Powell]

So the products listed are the ones I've selected to pick up for my first PC build, it will be primarily for high quality gaming.

I already have a few extra fans and a decent power supply, i'm also fine on gaming peripherals.

Thank you for your time.

Seriously dude, I'm not wanting to click each link to see what you have. Use PCPartpicker and paste the BBCode from that site.

If you grab another 8 GB stick of RAM, and pop that into your third slot, you can take full advantage of DDR3 memory (as Windows 8 can support up to 128 GB). Otherwise it seems ok, but if you are looking for "high quality" gaming, then it might be worth while looking into getting the R9 290X rather than the 280X, though both will operate good, the 290X would give you a more long term high performance, as it is newer, and most PC games operate on the most up to date hardware.

The build in it's current state will do justice, but if you can expand the budget a bit, take what I said into consideration.

Buy a 9-series motherboard for a possible upgrade path to Broadwell.

Otherwise, I'm with the other guy ... list your specs so we don't have to link off-site

Unfortunately i can't accommodate a 290X due to budget, otherwise i really would love to get one. Thank you for your feedback though.

not all the parts are available on PCPartpicker otherwise i would...

Presumably, your RAM kit includes 2 sticks -- adding a third stick kills dual-channel performance.

If you would type out the specs, this would not be an issue.

For a tip, use pcpartpicker so it's easier for people to check it out. I've done it for you this time so it's easier for everyone:
It's a good build don't let anyone change your mind on that. As long as you feel you need everything on that list your solid.
