Building a new PC

OK guys I wasn't sure if this is where this kind of question would go but here goes. I am building my first computer and after some research and opinions from friends I have narrowed it down to this. Any opinions/insights on compatability or preferences (basically any input) would be appreciated.
Thanks

Looks quite good to me. Personally, I'd go with AMD instead of Intel, but it's really just an opinion.

I would go with an AMD 3500 over the Intel 3.2. Even though it is about 50-100 bucks more depending, I think for games the performance will be a lot better. But its personal opinion.
