Building A Cheaper Gaming PC

[TotoLaser76]

I've been trying to build a gaming PC to be able to run games like ARK: Survival Evolved and GTA V at 60 frames on ultra. Not planning on playing on higher resolutions than 1080p... Is this build good and is there anything wrong with it? If so feel free to edit the build and link it below.

Looks good! The psu is not very good and an EVGA Supernova GS 650w is a lot better. Everything else is good but the Strix is a better cooler.

If I'm not gonna be able to overclock this cpu, wouldn't the stock cooler be fine?

What I mean is the Strix GTX 970 has a better cooler. Sorry typo.

Try this version, better quality PSU (and cheaper) and the ASUS STRIX cooler based 970, which is a much better cooler:
