Going to need a bit more information from you before any suggestions. What is your budget? Full desktop or more compact?
 
 

If you have a local Micro Center go there for a cpu/motherboard. Athian's 3770K suggestion is great but if you're getting an unlocked or "k" processor you may as well get a Z77 board. Definitely work an ssd into your budget for a primary drive. You will be happy that you did when you boot up in 10 seconds.

Your M/B choice is nice and works with all 1150 CPU's. I don't know why Athian chose a 3770 for you. That's an Ivy Bridge part and overclocked is a real cooker. You can get the cream of the crop Haswell for less money and they run cooler. Check this CPU out. http://www.amazon.com/Intel-i7-4790K-Processor-Cache-BX80646I74790K/dp/B00KPRWAX8/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1414164127&sr=1-1 Definitely factor in an SSD and his choice of the Samsung EVO is excellent. I have three in my new build. Two 500 GB in a RAID 0 and another 750 GB ( they are rock solid drives) as well as a WD Black platter drive. You can't go wrong with most memory manufacturers today. All the bad ones have been weeded out a long time ago. A case is a matter of choice and the Corsair Obsidian line is great but more geared for some type of water cooling. The new Graphite series are looking pretty nice but they are almost giving away 750D's on Newegg right now. Like 120 bucks after rebate or maybe less and Coolermaster HAF series cases move lots of air, great for air cooling solutions. Like I said, cases are a matter of choice and if you are going to use some type of liquid cooling most anything works. Air cooling solutions I'm partial to Noctua's as they are so quiet and cool very well but not cheap. If you can afford it and want to go liquid and want to overclock like mad go for some type of 240mm solution. Also, if going air the hyper 212 is a very effective and extremely reasonable cooler. If you want quiet, invest in 1 or two Noctua NF-F12's, not cheap, about $25 a piece but oh so quiet. I like Athian's choice of PSU as EVGA has really been producing some awesome units. There's some ideas for you but as stated earlier, we don't know your budget and what you intend on using the box for.

welcome to the forums jeff. I'm glad to see more ppl undertaking the joy of building their own pc.  PC gaming is way better than console by a long shot. since you are a newb, i will explain everything in detail to help you out.....( as i once was a newb my-self). my aim is not to insult your intelligence but to help. now picking parts can sometimes be overwhelming ex. z97, h81,z87,x79,x99. these are just a few types of motherboard chipsets. (Chipsets are another chip made by intel to put on a motherboard to control other functions like USB, SATA ect.) you will want to stick to Z97, well because its the latest chipset.
So Here we go
 
CASE
This is my favorite part of PC building, it is the part you will look at the most...lol
you will want a case that is ATX/E-ATX compatible. most cases will have this. (ATX/E-ATX is and industry standard for motherboard layouts)  The hero you were looking at is an ATX....
You will prolly want to spend $80-$150 on your case, also stick to brands like Corsair, coolermaster, NZXT. here are some recommendations on some.

Power Supply Unit or PSU
the unit recommended above will not work for you because it only has 20amps on the 12v rail. you want at least 40amps. When choosing a PSU there is more than just Wattage. look at the specs on the side panel of the PSU and look for the box that says 12v and under it will be an amperage. the 12v rail is what feeds your Graphix card. your 770 needs more than 20amps of juice. the evga 750G is a good psu but it is made for the 720,740. you will want the evga "G2" line of psu.
its silly not to get a gold rated psu because they are cheap now compaired to what they used to be. also with this stick with EVGA, Corsair, sea sonic. i recommend a 850w psu. that is more than you need at the moment, but you will want to add a second card, you will want to start overclocking, you will want to add better cooling to your case. this is just how it is you get the bug to build a pc and it never stops there. you will want to spend $125-$175 on a psu.

Motherboard or mobo
if the CPU is the brains the mobo is the heart of the pc. the thing to know is that every mobo has a socket. ex. 1366,2011,1155,1150,2011-v3......lol each socket will work with a matching cpu. so i cant stick a 2011 cpu in a 1150 socket. what you are going to be focusing on is the 1150. this will fit all haswell cpus( more on this when we get to cpus) you will want to stick with the z97 chipset. the asus maximus hero 7 is a perfect example of the mobo that you are looking for. the "Z" chipset means that it will support overclocking better, has more sata ports for storage, more options in the bios, will support multiple graphics cards. you will want to stick with names like EVGA, ASUS, MSI. you will want to spend about $150-$250 on your mobo, here are some good ones.

central processing unit or CPU
the brain, the cpus we will be looking at are the haswell 4th generation cpu on the 1150 socket. each new architecture or design of an intel cpu has a code name associated with it, ex. Nehalem, westmare, sandy bridge, ivy bridge, haswell. yet to come are broadwell and skylake.   the great thing about getting a Z97 mobo is it will work with broadwell cpus at the end of next year( with a bios update of course). the ones you will want to look at really are the I5 4690k and the I7 4790k. now if you see a 'K" tacked on the the end of an intel cpu it means you can overclock it. if ther is no 'K" it means that it is harder to overclock.  there is also these same cpus with an "s" on the end, dont worry  about these, they use less power thats all.
the main difference between the 4690k/4690 and the 4790k/4790  is hyperthreading. this is good if you convert a lot of video files, or if you like to edit video or photos.( there are some instruction sets that the i5 has the the i7 dosent but this will have no effect on you.) by the way the i5 4690/k is more than enough for gaming. the frames per second difference between the 2 is about 1%. now if these are to expansive there are others to choose from. just let us know. but both of these will give you a solid platform for many years.

i have to go... ill be back to finish the memory and storage later.... Happy building.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Thank you all so much this has been tremendous help from all of you. Please feel free to keep it coming I would love to see your preferences and any advice I'm sucking it in like a sponge

Buy 2x 770 ACX and go Sli..... a single 770 GTX is not enough.....trust me. 
1x 770 will halt 25-35 fps in demanding games(full ultra), and if your like me, 60fps is just not enough for smooth game play. I see be between 120-144fps in most games(full ultra settings) with 2 x 770 SC ACX in Sli, that's where the sweet spot is in gaming anyway, above 100fps.
