Ok so im upgrading from an Asus laptop cause i want to get into pc gaming. I play Minecraft mostly and League of Legends but im looking to get a pc that can play BF3, Skyrim, Diablo III and so on. I want a really nice running pc that i can play most games on medium to high settings with no/little lag. I have a friend who helped me a little, but i dont know much about all the specs i need and what parts are compatible together.

I would suggest getting a better graphics card then that if you are really getting into gaming. I would look at getting the Ati Radeon 6950 or a Geforce 570 from Evga.

Yeah I would suggest at least a HD 6790 if you're looking to get into gaming, for some measure of future proofing.
We'll walk you through building your first system, no problem!

At least a GTX 560 or HD 6950 for decent resolutions at max settings. with 8XAA/AF, so I'm estimating at probably 1600x900. You could deal with a top 20 graphics card so long if you dialed back the settings a little; a HD 6850 will run BF3 at 1080p at mid settings >60 FPS.

The HD 6850 has the best price/performance as of today.
Also, I think 16 GB is rather overkill, for gaming, it would come in handy if you were looking to do video editing on a massive scale and running virtualization clusters, but for a "budget gaming PC" I honestly think 8 GB will suffice.
You should look at the equivalent Intel processors:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-gaming-cpu-core-i3-2100-phenom-ii-x6-1075t,2859-8.html 
Due to their superior single-threaded performance even the i3 2100 trumps the X4 965 in games. Also, if you choose the i3 2120 you will be able to upgrade to the Ivy Bridge 3XXX processors, which support all Sandy Bridge chipsets.
I also wouldn't spend more than $50 on the PC chassis for gaming, because the cash would be more well-served being put towards beefier components.
Here is what I would choose:
Western Digital Caviar Blue WD5000AAKS 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive ($99.99)

Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000 ($20.99)

TOTAL COST: $669.92

Do note we haven't taken into account the price of a Windows 7 license.
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit - OEM
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116992 ($139.99)
Cheaper than the retail version, which costs $229.99

“System Builder” means an original equipment manufacturer, an
assembler, a refurbisher, or a software preinstaller that sells the Customer System(s) to a
third-party. OEM software may ONLY be distributed with a fully assembled computer system.

http://oem.microsoft.com/public/worldwide/licensing/opccomm_retail_and_coem.pdf
You are an assembler.
The parts that you quoted cost HDD($99.99)+Phenom II X4($119.99)+16GB RAM($87.99)+Sidewinder X4 KB($47.99)+500W Corsair PSU($79.99)+Asus A75 Motherboard($114.99)+HD 6750 HIS($99.99)+Apevia ATX Chassis($64.99) = $715.92. Furthermore I would like to point out that your motherboard isn't compatible with your CPU your CPU is of the AM3 socket. You'll need to get an AM3 compatible motherboard, such as the AMD 890GX series/AMD 970 series.

well i want to stick with AMD and i switched to the Sapphire Radeon 7750 before i looked back at this.

Sticking with AMD CPUs won't give you a benefit today, AMD has already announced that they are already planning to withdraw from the higher-end market:
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/AMD-APU-Z-Series-ARM-Tegra-3,14114.html 
And you'll be stuck in terms of upgradability. The Bulldozers aren't great, and if you really are a die hard fan and want to upgrade further then there are the server CPUs...  There's no logical reason to stick with AMD when for a few bucks more you get a far more power efficient processor which can provide you with equal performance, you'll be able to save on the PSU too...
http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/102?vs=289 
i3 2100 vs X4 965 BE. Keep in mind that the i3 is a dual core, and look at the 174W vs 100W power consumption.
When you level the playing field, quad core vs quad core, AMD seems awfully paltry...
http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/102?vs=363 
i5 2400 vs X4 965 BE.
Granted, the 2400 costs ($189.99) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115074
Which is 70 bucks more than the Phenom. If you saved on your keyboard and motherboard and your PC case I really think you could squeeze out $70...

It is also beyond me why you got a HD 7750 when you could have gotten a HD 6790 for the same price.

Your HD 7750 isn't faring too well, it was designed to have no PCIe power connectors presumably for HTPC use, not gaming....
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-7770-7750-benchmark,3135-6.html
It's worse than the GTX 550Ti in BF3, at 1680x1050 16xAF we're only getting 27-39 FPS..Definitely not a good bang for buck formula...
