Would this be a good combo to buy for that graphics card or would it be dumb and stupid? I've never thought about building a PC before but now I want to since I have those two parts.
Why everything so expensive at Best buy?

Quite a few recent revisions. Looking at dates two most recent are about a month apart. Seems asus releasing them almost on a monthly bases. Will have to read up on this.

This CPU/MOBO combo is a few generations (years) newer than the graphics card so the graphics card will be your bottleneck. Depending on how you plan to game, gaming in 1080p will work great while higher res (1440p or 4k) will start to stutter with more graphically loaded games.
Overall I think this is a great deal to jump on, all you need is RAM (DDR4) and storage (m2).
For RAM I paired mine with this:
Amazon [amazon.com]
GL

* * * I'd recommend Corsair or Seasonic, gold rated or better...850W or higher (1000W ideally for upgrades to the newest gen eventually), fully modular for ease of installation and less clutter/airflow restriction in the case * * *
EDIT: I guess those are only mid-tower cases. The full tower has disappeared from many brands as well.
