First serious attempt at a PC build. Give me your knowledge.

###Build Ready:

Have you read the sidebar and rules?

Yes.

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

Gaming.

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for?

I want to be able to run any game I could throw at this thing at the highest setting.

What is your budget?

Anywhere around what I have. The max I could consider is $1,200.

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

U.S.

Provide any additional details you wish below.

I sort of know what I am doing, but really not sure if these parts I picked would even make sense together. The biggest question mark I have is the PSU. I had originally selected an 800W one, but I felt like that was a bit overkill.

I also would prefer to keep the whole build in a Mini ITX due to lack of space.
