This will be my first time building my own PC. I game a lot so it will be used primarily for gaming and everyday use. I know next to nothing about building PC's so in your replies, assume I know nothing. I need anyone's advice on if I should make any changes, whether everything is compatible or not, etc.. Any advice is appreciated.
Budget is up to $3000, but obviously I'd prefer to save as much money as possible.
Here's what I'm looking at:
