Building a PC

Hi all, I have a few questions for you about my first PC build;
Does this PC build work?
What does the Update for the motherboard mean?
Also, do you have any suggestions for improving it?
Btw, will this build be good to play the top end titles on very high graphics?

the Mobo might need an upgrade, but *probably* not.

your GPU has no price - it will be more expensive than £0.

I am aware of this, it is on Amazon for £130

it will work.high settings maybe. i would suggest you rempve the SSD and get the cheapest keyboard and case, while adding a h97 mobo ( 2nd priority) or get a 280x or 290 (1st priority). otherwise , looks good!

Would the MSI H97 PC MATE ATX LGA1150 Motherboard work?

the desktop will eat the alienware for breakfast. the 860m is roughly the same as a 750 ti and the r9 280x is the equivalent of the 770. try getting a better gpu first

Thank you for your help, I wasn't too sure how good this build would have been. I appreciate it!
