I'm building my first gaming computer, I don't have too much knowledge when it comes to building computers so any help and would be much appreciated. I'll have a link below with a wishlist I made on Newegg. If there is a better part than one of the parts on my list that is also around the same price please link me to it. Also there are two parts I already own so I will put the links for those below as well. Thank you.

I've checked with my local Fry's Electronics and they have all the parts on the list, plus they said they said they will match any online price I find.

Just added two things in to the post above if you want to look at them.

If you get RAM with speeds above 1333-1600 you won't notice unless doing things like editing, always get the cheapest 2x4 kit. The HDD he linked was a Caviar Black which while costs more has great warranty and is very reliable

I know that and it is cheaper, with the code it is 63..
No point getting dual channel RAM and speeds above 1600mhz unless you are using an APU.
You could probably keep using the 8150, but upgrading soon would probably be a good idea.

Do you need/want to only use Newegg? If you use PCpartpicker you may have to order from different places but you will get the best value.
Not up to date on graphics cards at the moment and the board and case looks fine. (Case is a bit excessive but whatever)
Barracudas are cheaper:

Found this a little bit cheaper with the code applied, with a higher speed:

Drop the 8320 and use your 8150 if you want

I know that and it is cheaper, with the code it is 63..Code on the other makes it 49, my mistake.
He already owns the processor.
I would suggest the Source over the 200R.
No mention of overclocking, stock is fine.
Yes, I don't plan on overclocking, Although I was told on another forum that I should buy a new cpu fan eventually.
You won't need to for a while if you clean your computer often and have good airflow/cable management.
Source 210? What source
And as I said 8150 is weak, and drop the 8320 if he wants
NZXT Source 210, yeah.
Missed that part.
You could probably keep using the 8150, but upgrading soon would probably be a good idea.
If we refuse to help you because you're being stubborn, well I guess you'll just have to
