Hi, I came here to know if my gaming pc I built/am going to buy works so if you could help or give me any tips, my first pc buying/building, it would help. Thank you

First for my Cpu- Intel i5 4590 (going to get an AMD one but this seemed better)
MotherBoard- Gigabyte 297P-D3 (ATX)
RAM-Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 Vengeance 8GB
Storage- Seagate Barracuda 3.5 inch 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB 6GB/S Internal SATA Drive
( Do I need secondary or anything like that?)
GPU- MSI Nvidia Gtx 960 Gaming 2 GB PCI-E Graphics Card (Do I need to get a better one?)
PSU- Corsair Builder Series CXM 430W Modular 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX/EPS PSU
(Is this good/powerfull enough to run my PC?)
and lastly case- Corsair carbide SPEC-03 with 2 extra fans and fan splitter cable
I have other things like a wireless connector, a DVD drive, thermal paste, and operating system(8.1), but these should work with every PC so I wont include them
Thank you if you answer my question(s).
 
What resolution will you be gaming at and what's the budget?

Your chosen PSU is poor quality and the 960 is a good budget gpu but if you can afford a 970 the performance jump is significant and the 970 is great at 1080p. If you go for a 970 you need a good quality 500w PSU, actually you should get a good 500w PSU for either gpu
 


I have went a bit over budget already since i still need to get a good monitor keyboard and mouse so the 970 is not getting bought but the 960 says it has a 400w and the psu has a 430 w so it should be able to handle it, shouldn't it?
and since this is my first pc i dont want to spend to much. my budget is like £780 and my all my pc things with operating system comes to 670 so i have 110 to get a monitor keyboard and mouse... any suggestions for them?
Thanks for the suggestion though
