Hey everyone, I am looking into building a computer for the first time. I am a senior in college with fairly good computer knowledge but I have never looked into hardware much. I know basically nothing about building computers so all help is appreciated. Don't feel bad about telling me I am an idiot and suggesting something different. Keep in mind that I am a poor college student who wants to get the best gaming system possible for less than $2,000.
Here is some stuff I was looking at from NewEgg. Take a look and mage suggestions or additions that I am missing. Many thanks.

I am sure that I am way off on what I should be getting on a bunch of things but since this is my first time you have to expect that. I understand that some things are low end like the sound card but I am willing to give up some things like that in order to still have the money to get stuff to make the gaming better. Sorry for the long post, this is my first time on this forum. THANKS!
