Is this a good enough PC build to run recent AAA titles at 60fps with consistency and reliability?.

I am still very new to the world of PC gaming and am looking for a decent build within a $900 dollar budget. Though i am not averse to going a bit over as I am currently sitting at $928. Would this build provide sufficient performance for its price. I would greatly appreciate any part recommendations at a competitive price. Also any publications that regularly report on technological innovations in the industry would be apprecciated as I would like to keep up.

Swapped some things around.

i5-8500 and i5-8400 have nearly identical performance. Dropped down to a B360 motherboard. Z370 would be for overclocking. Dropped the memory down to the supported speed. Swapped out the power supply for a more reputable model, and upped the GPU from a GTX1060 3GB to a 6GB with a large cooler. Added an SSD for a boot drive.

^ same way I've gone but I prefer the cxm over that old season if & that 580 is hard to ignore at that price.

Also don't like the masterbox lite at that price , the p300 is a way better case for similar money.

Go with the 1060 6GB, assuming you're running 1920x1080. Also, is your monitor FreeSync, G-Sync, or neither?

You can save a reasonable chunk by going with an 8GB RX 580, though this will definitely consume more electricity.
