The link I provided below go directly to the computer and it allows you to customize it to your own personal preference. If anyone can change the things that you wouldn't recommend to what you WOULD recommend I would very much appreciate it!

I would do exactly what this guy sad but with one more addition... You'll also love the extra HP, trust me I did the same. It also helps a poop ton with games FPS by the way.

I would go ahead and buy a 2TB HDD from wherever you can find the cheapest along with the 1TB in your system. If you have a decent game collection, you'll run out of room fast, especially if you mod games like Skyrim, Dishonored, Borderlands, etc. as those games can get to 20-30gb in size on their own.
I know it sounds ridiculous, but I only got a 1TB and I'm running out of room from my less than 50 game

I highly recommend this drive, the

Large file transfers (it get's up to like 200mbps on Windows if I remember correctly) and torrent downloads move quickly also. I actually get up to 5mbps torrent downloads.
I also very highly recommend Linux. Yes, you's a noobie, but you'll highly benefit from it both mentally and physically. It'll run less intensive on your hardware making it last longer. You can also run plenty of games from Steam and other sources as well on Linux. If you go this route, go with

Shouldn't be hard to learn, but you'll have to most likely learn how to build programs from source to install them. It's easy, as everything comes with a README and Install Guide anymore.
Overclocking is a recommendation as well. You can easily push both the i7 and i5 to 4.2 GHz without messing around with voltages and other complicated stuffs.
Good luck on building your machine! I hope you use it wisely and learn more basic computer science as you build and mess about your system!
