My 5 year old dell (core i5 750, 560ti) is dying (crashes with anything graphics intense - tried a new gpu, didn't work) and I need to get a new pc however I don't want to get another pre built. I've installed psus/gpus/heat sinks but have never built a pc from the ground up. I don't think I'll have any problem installing the hardware but I'm not comfortable with having to go into bios for anything since I've hardly used it all. Ideally I want to put everything together, turn on the computer, install windows 10, install the drivers and be done with.
My budget is in the neighborhood of $1000. I mostly use my computer for web browsing and some gaming. I used to buy all my games on PC but since I've got a PS4 I only see myself playing PC only games such as X-Com 2, Pillars of Eternity, etc. Honestly a lot of the games I've been playing aren't graphics intense so I don't want to spend extra for an enthusiast card. Also I'll be playing at 1080p.
So far the parts I've been looking at are:

Am I missing anything obvious like parts not being compatible? The hardest part to pick was the motherboard since a lot recommended ASRock but recent reviews said there was a problem where if you unplugged the power cable and moved it to another location the motherboard wouldn't function so I decided on the MSI instead. I know storage seems low but I don't use more than ~375gb and I can always put in a 1TB 7200rpm later. I was originally going to go with a 750ti but the rebate on 960 puts it only ~$25 more so I chose that instead. 650 PSU is probably more than I need but I don't mind an extra $10 or so spent.
Any thoughts/suggestions would be highly appreciated.
