First Build Looking For An Opinion

[cubapuddinjr]

Hello everyone. Like the title says, this is my first build and I'm just asking if this would be a good start for me. I'm going to be mostly gaming and was looking to get around 60fps at 1080p without any intentions of over clocking anytime soon. The price for everything is more or less what I'm comfortable with spending. Thank you!

If you don't mind me asking, would you be able to recommend a build if I had a little more cash to work with?

A reasonable build.
You may be cutting it close on the psu, the R9 cards are power hungry.

I might suggest a slightly stronger GTX960 which needs less power:
