Do I need to build a "gaming" computer?

Well I think I've finally picked everything. Here's a link to the full build:

I noticed a review on the case you recommend somebody mentioned that the extra fans are obviously not included and then they included a link to get them so I added that in. I liked the keyboard/mouse combo that lit up, I always thought those were expensive but 50 dollars wasn't bad in my opinion. I'm not thrilled that they're usb powered, I'd prefer them to be the old fashioned way, but I figure I have another USB ports on the mother board to be able to just plug those in without taking up space on the front of the case. The speakers I picked seemed cheap enough and reviewed well for the price, I figure if they're not the greatest I can always afford a better pair some other time.

So all in all I think I picked everything. Would you change or add anything?

Yeah on the keyboard and mouse everything is either going to USB or wireless/bluetooth...the older round (PS/2) ports are pretty much gone, although you do see a few motherboard that still come with them or have one PS/2 port but otherwise they're obsolete.

The only thing I might have to think about is whether or not you want Windows 10 Home. Some of the games may not work under Windows 10, you might see if any of those games have issues. If that's the case you will want to check about getting Windows 7 or Windows 8.1.... Or do a dual boot install of Windows 7 and Windows 10...

The other thing about Windows 10 Home is that you have less control on updates and other things like Microsoft can use your internet connection to push updates to other Windows users which kind of stinks when you're on a metered connection. There's a whole host of things. You get more control with Pro and pretty much full control on Enterprise but those editions cost a lot more and might not matter that much to you, just food for thought.
