How is this gaming build?

[kian2attari]

Hello!

I have never built a PC before. I was looking to make a PC mostly for gaming and also some (little, I am just learning) video editing, programming and normal desktop usage and whatnot.

I have done a bit of research and have come up with this.
I have not decided on the Motherboard yet.
I may overclock in the future(not extreme overclock) and I really doubt I will ever use SLI. I am looking for a mobo that fits in the price range which is the best for gaming(z97) and still offers as many features as possible.
I am looking at the Extreme 4, Gigabyte HD3, or MSI gaming 5. Which would suit my needs for the best price.
Any other suggestions are welcome!

I wanted to ask for any opinions or suggestions on the build(especially things like the case which I care more about the interior of) . My budget is around $1000 and I live in the US.

I am mostly looking for around 60+fps on 1080x1920(even better if more is possible) or the best graphics possible for atleast a couple more years. I normally play the new games like Battlefield, Dying Light, COD, Far Cry etc

Thank you!

You could pass off with a 550w power supply to shave off some dollars, but otherwise this looks like a solid build. Also put amazon into the recommended merchants to see if it saves you money.

The ssd os old and slow compared to newer drives and the psu isn't very good either.

Thanks!

But what about the motherboard?
Is gaming 5 my best choice overall in price/performance?
