Is this a good build for gaming?

[HamstaDurvid]

Well I watched many videos on the best GPU and I made this build.

Would this be good for games like : Planetside 2, GTA 5 , Minecraft , GRID 2 , and stuff like that at Ultra (mostly Ultra) setting?
Also can someone tell me the compatibility issue i don't get what it means by that?

Decent enough, but PSU sucks and case is not very good. Plus Kingston SSDs aren't recommended.

This build focuses on quality, but does what you ask for very well.

Well... For my build that i said if i remove the SSD and upgrade the PSU and case? would that be better. Lol nvm not to pricey : P

 

[okcnaline]

Drop the SSD and get a better case. Also, a better motherboard. Those are the only issues I see.

Ok thanks man

 

[fisbuar]

gotta say i dont agree with the argument of improving the wrapper, but lets remove the candy.

SSD is worth it for gaming rig.

If the Hardware has a good quality, and does not come pre-Overclocked from factory, it wont matter much which case its in, as long as theres an exhaust fan.


But thats just my opinion as professional gamer 9 years now.

I would seriously consider changing the gtx 970 for an r9 390 or 390x, because of the dx12 performance and asynchronous shades.
