Welcome
just did a build for a friend with this motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1N83UD9904 along with this cpu http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117563&cm_re=i5-_-19-117-563-_-Product . It was a nice build. The i5 cpu is prob gonna be more than enough for gaming. GPU is up to you but a gtx960 or gtx970 card would do great. As for ram the motherboard is using ddr4 and either 2 4 gig or 2 8 gig sticks would be enough for gaming. Gskill has done me no wrong on ram for the past 4 years. As for a cpu cooler you can use the standard small fan that comes with the cpu or get a bigger cpu fan cooler for better cooling performance just not sure what can fit in that case height wise. Power supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139143&cm_re=corsair_650-_-17-139-143-_-Pro... would be nice as its fully modular and only use what connectors to the board you need to keep the build neat and clean. Others will chime in
