So I finally decided to just go ahead and buy everything for my first build. I didn't need a top of the line type system, and money was a little tight so I tried to cut some corners a little bit. I am not really looking to hear people tell me I should have gone with intel or nvidia ect. Just wondering how you all think THIS build will preform on most modern games at 1080, but any and all constructive feedback is more than welcome. I plan on overclocking the cpu to around 4.1 to start with, and will probably try to go higher in the future. Thanks for any feedback you can give me on what to expect from this system.

this will do much better than your build and is as much

the 4160 performs better than the 6300 in most games and you wont need a cooler for it

this GPU is a much better GPU that will give you many more FPS than the 270x

The PSU is way better being a fully modular tier 1 80+ gold PSU

the case is a pretty nice case that i would recommend

Thank you for the response, but maybe I wasn't clear in my original post. I have already bought everything. I am just curious about how this build will preform. I may have made some mistakes, but that is all part of the learning process and I am ok with that. There is no going back and buying all new stuff, for the time being.
