This the build. I am wondering if there are any reliability or performance problems with it. Keep in mind I am trying to get everything on the list for around $1000 with tax so $920-$980 without. And that at some point relatively soon I plan on adding a ssd and 8gbs of ram. But if something looks like it could cause reliability problems that is my first priority. My second priority would be if something is going to limit gaming like ram speed or anything. thanks


ps will I be able to overclock cpu to 4.2

Good build, faster ram doesn't help gaming performance. Only thing I can say is I would try and go with Asus mobo. Asus motherboards can have bios updates without a CPU in them, and have variable voltage for over clocking. Last time I checked gigabyte didn't.
You have a nice build for the budget.
You can fiddle with maybe some marginally faster RAM, better mobo or better GTX 970 version, but averall you have the best bang for the back in this config.

Enjoy your build!
 
I switched it with a EVGA 04G-P4-2974-KR it's benchmarks looked better. thanks for the advice.
