Is this a good gaming pc build?

[shujah09]

This is my first time building a gaming PC and i wanna know what u guys think. It'll probably seem like cancer to people who are experts in this stuff. Here's my build:

CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Motherboard: ASRock H97M PRO4 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB Superclocked ACX 2.0 Video Card
Case: NZXT Source 530 ATX Full Tower Case
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

Also, is this build good to run games such as bf4, bf3, cs go, watchdogs at 60 FPS?
Thanks

You've got a solid build going, that's for sure. My only advice would be to drop the CM 212 Evo, and put that towards a full ATX Motherboard, since you've got a full tower case. The stock intel cooler will be fine for the 4460.

CPU COOLER - Not needed for a non-overclocking setup. The stock Intel cooler will be just fine.
GPU - The SSC ACX 2.0+ is clocked slightly higher and is a bit cheaper.
SSD - Added one.
CASE - Changed to a mid tower.
PSU - Overpriced and a bit oversized. Changed to a Seasonic 550w Gold unit..
