Is this a good Mid-Range gaming PC?

[LukeMaBoy]

I was wondering if this is a good build, is there anything I should change about it?

Nice build.

Be very careful with the Artic Silver 5. It is electro-conductive. Do not get it on any components or any places except the CPU heatspreader and heatsink. Else you risk damaging or bricking your motherboard.

I would use MX4.

I agree with SR.

How should I apply it? The pea method?
