Buying Gaming Computer Parts to build one myself - Need Advice

So, I want to build a good gaming computer than can run well - Pretty much any game, and fairly well too. I really don't have any experience with building computers or their parts. So I was wondering if you guys could help me out? My budget would have an 800~+/-$ Max(Including shipping), although could vary if you I'm convinced it's worth it.

Right now, I went on Newegg.ca and found parts, added them all together, and the total came to 774.88$, I'm just wondering if there is anything I should replace to get more bang for my buck, or save some money since I'm kinda strapped for cash at the moment. I've uploaded the items I have in my cart, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anywho, here is the name of the parts, as well I got a picture of the shopping cart below, thanks in advance.

Maybe it's just me, but I would never get anything less than the best I can find for a psu. If it fails, it's likely to take some components with it. I'd get one from Corsair, Antec, Silverstone, etc of good quality so you don't fry any other parts of your system later on.
 
@BurningSkyline Would this be able to run pretty much anything(Crisis) at a decent FPS? And, would there be anything you'd suggest or change from that wishlist? I can see the proccessor and ram cost less, would you say a high priced ram or processor isn't as important as the things I missed?(Since, I was thinking a processor is the most important and expensive thing I should buy).

@Russ88765 - True, that's something I wouldn't know. Thanks for the tip :)

Edit: Remember, I don't have any prior knowledge to computer parts or building :P
 
Alrighty, I appreciate the help. If there was anything to downgrade a little in price, what would you suggest. Since I only got about 700$ right now, and not working the Christmas Break, and on Newegg.ca those parts come to 828$ :P
