Is this a good pc build to play games coming out in the future?

[EncryptedAce]

Alright so i am looking to sell my 360 and go to pc gaming. I want to build a pc that will be able to run current pc games and games coming out in the future like (Fallout 4) I also want to play some present games like GTA V ,Skyrim, Battlefield 4 ,etc..... So i am pretty new to pc building and i just want to know if this is a good build to do what i am hoping for it to do. Could i save Money on buying parts that work the same or are even better? If i can save money please let me know. Here is the build let me know if this is good. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mqD9Hx Thanks in advance

We have almost the same build! And yes, the build is good enough to run current and future games with ease.

YE PC MASTER RACE. Anyway, yes that build is great! To save money, consider Windows 10 (ITS FREEEEE). Also, you probably will not need a DVD/CD writer. I have one and have never used it... also try finding a better price on that 970. $340 is not bad, but it is not good either. A little searching could save you ~$20. About the case, it IS a good case, and will serve you well, but I promise putting in a few more dollars to get a sexy case you can look at and say "dayum son" is well worth it. Other than that great parts.

UPDATE:
That Win 7 is OEM, you are not really supposed to use it... but you can. You just cannot change your motherboard though... Maybe find another non-OEM copy, or use um... [strike]Windows Loader[/strike]

You would need an empty CD or USB. You would then use a computer to download a Windows 10 .ISO and write the disk image to it. And BAM you have a Windows install disk. Follow these detailed instructions:

so i could just save like 100 $, from dropping the windows 7 and the optical drive and using the current pc i have right now to download windows ten onto a usb stick since all i have to do i wait till windows sends me the key to upgrade to windows 10?
