If this is a gaming PC, you want something much better than a "GT 630." You cannot take advantage of 4GB's of vRAM with the "GT 630."

Also, Socket 1155 is dead now, so I would suggest a Haswell CPU like the 4670K.

Ok, thanks. Other than the CPU and the Graphics card do you think that his would be a ok gaming computer for playing games like minecraft, and dayz?

Credits go to me for Starify's posts.

As it is, this build will play MC and struggle a bit with DayZ. The GT 630 is a very weak card.

The GPU is bad. Take it from us, not from what you heard from somewhere. Get atleast a 7770 when it comes to GPUs. The GT 630 will be a massive drawback for the CPU.

Excluding OS, and case can be changed for one of your preference. However the one I've chosen is very good.

Thank you, I really needed help but I have one last question, If I bought all this stuff and I put it together I would have a running pc? I also would like to know does it come with all of the cables I need, Like if I got a disk drive off another computer and I don't have the cords for it would I have to buy some or will cords for a disk drive come with the power supply?

Yes, and for the cords, they will come with the power supply.
