Is this a good computer

[1stTimeBuildingAPc]

My brother is going to build a computer, do you think that this is a good build? Do you have any suggestions?

The components:

(By the way, he already has the RAM sticks, so don't change those)

 

[wizout]

* Asus GeForce GTX 960 4GB Video Card
Put a few more dollars and get yourself a 250~280$ GTX 1060 (2x quicker) or an AMD RX480 (200~250$)

If you can afford it take an SSD too.

People are retarded enough to think that the CPU is key to gaming; it's not. Invest all your money in a good graphics card. At that budget get yourself an i5 4460 and a motherboard under $60 and pair it with a 1070 and 980 Ti.

We changed the component list... Is this better?
