1.Yes, the intel i5 processor is the best value processor for gaming.
2.The gtx 970 will run all modern PC games at very good fps
3.The power supply wattage allows you to upgrade the components of the PC in the future
4.Ripjaws ram is very good
5.The motherboard and processor are both overclockable

I rate it 9/10
If it had an SSD drive, 9.5/10
 


I'm not sure.. buying this from ibuypower and its a free upgrade from 500w to 1000w
 
You would be SO much better off building your own.

This is a much smarter use of your money
