• Happy holidays, folks! Thanks to each and every one of you for being part of the Tom's Hardware community!

I have some questions about my gaming build.

1. Is the power supply good enough for this? ( I might change cpu to a lower wattage one)
2. Is the ram okay with two separate brands?
3. Is the ssd big enough to hold Windows 10 and maybe a few games?
4. Is there a better monitor in that price range (Max 130)?
5. Will the graphics card be able to run Battlefield hardline/4 at high settings?
