Hello, this is my first PC build, and I intend to use it for gaming, and I'm fairly certain it should be able to run games fairly well for a while, but I'm not 100% sure because I am still new to this sort of stuff. Here is the build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nz4sxr
I would like to know if this is any good and will all work well together.

I thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Yes that build is really good but a few things I would change would be the mATX to a full ATX motherboard. Then the graphics card isn't really worth that much but that is your call. Then something as a preference for me would be to add a H100i. But that is 100% personal preference and a lot of people prefer air coolers over liquid coolers anyways. Be Quiet! makes a really nice air cooler like the NH-D15 if you don't like the color of the Noctua.

Good job picking the PSU by the way :) A lot of people get that part wrong.
