Is this a good build for gaming?

Hey,
Is this a good build? http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/GryXhM

I understand that the PSU is bad, but i have had if for a year now and it has been fine. I can't upgrade the PSU as I don't have the cash.
Thanks.

It's good, however the RAM might pose an issue because pcpartpicker is saying that it has a voltage of 1.65 which is really high and isn't fully supported by intel haswell cpus. I would get 1.5V RAM or less so you don't have to mess around with memory settings when you start setting up the build.

The RAM won't be any issue, OP would just need to enable XMP Profile 1 from BIOS, more speed only adds frames in gaming. Higher voltage is FULLY supported by Intel, that is why they provide the XMP profile. Basically most 2133MHz or higher sticks don't run with lower wattage than 1.6V, so its not a complusion to go with 1.5V.
Also, higher speeds helps in OCing the CPU too.

Sorry, my bad I totally forgot about the XMP profile.
