You are entering into a wonderful world when you decide to make your own PC.
It looks like the parts you have listed are good, just be sure that the motherboard, and the CPU go together. If it's a Intel 1150 socket, then get a 1150 pin CPU etc.
The Gigabyte motherboard you have chosen is the same one I use I think. I installed a M.2 SSD on the board for a neater and speedy system.
Also, a full tower is going to be bigger and heavier, you might want to go with a Mid size tower.
Hello!
As the title states, this is going to be my first build, and the desktop will primarily be for gaming. My budget is around $1000 - $1200. I have a build ready:

I'm pretty new to this stuff and only have very general/basic knowledge on the subject. So far I've only bought the CPU, but I really want some feedback on the choice of mobo (this especially), RAM, and the system as a whole before I go out and buy the other parts. The GTX 970 is something I want for certain, but I'm just uncertain about the different models and how they compare. Every other part not listed on there I've already accounted for (e.g. OS).
I'm not planning on overclocking or using SLI now but want the option to be available when I decide to go that route in the future. If you need to know anything else, let me know. Thanks!
