I mentioned this in the Shout box already, but I feel like I should ask for advice here. Mods, please lock if this is the wrong place or for any other reason.

This summer, I plan on building a decent gaming PC. My current PC is pretty average for a gaming PC, but the CPU is... pretty bad. It sometimes lags my games and such, and besides, I think it would be time for me to build my own at one point.

I'm not sure if posting links is allowed, since it would be considered advertising, so I'm just going to post pictures.

This is the Motherboard I recently ordered:

6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
I will post any additional information needed about the Motherboard

This is the current graphics card I'm after:

192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

And here's the hard drive, there's more things I'm after, but I'm not going to post it all.

Given the information I told you, what is some advice regarding products for my gaming PC going to be? There is no specific price range I'm after, the entire kit I'm after is going to cost almost $800. I want to know, what are some thingsthat you recommend for me to use?
 
I don't have many complaints about the parts you have linked currently, but what KIND of gaming do you intend to be doing? I'm assuming it's going to be pretty demanding?

A SSD may also be a nice investment, depending on what kind of gaming you are looking to do and what your expectations are.

I have my eyes on a decent SSD that I found on Newegg, but if you can suggest a better one, then feel free.

I need a computer that will be able to handle games such as Dragon Age and Skyrim and any big game on Ultra graphic settings with few errors, currently I can only run Skyrim on Medium and Starcraft on the lowest settings possible, hence why I need better... everything. THink you can suggest some stuff?

I'm not the world's most knowledgeable on computers, so...
