Is this a good PC Build?

[Coolve]

This is my first build. The build will be for mostly gaming, what do you guys think?

P.S. I am aware that I am missing an OS.

Everything looks good except I would spring for a ASRock Extreme 4 mobo instead of the MSI. Also spring for a XFX PSU over the corsair or a EVGA Supernova G2. Also the Samsung 850 EVO Is better for cheaper.

Got you a better cooler, a faster SSD, a vastly superior quality power supply, and a better case. In addition to that, I removed the pointless extra case fan, got you a better keyboard (Razer is overpriced and overrated) and a cheaper but practically identical monitor.

The other changes I made were just slightly cheaper options, like the Seagate Barracuda over the WD Blue.

Very nice. Thanks a lot man! I'll definitely switch over the cooler, case, and keyboard.. Are you sure I should buy just a 550W PSU? I was thinking of SLI for my GTX 970 in the future, so I'm not sure.

That's a very cheap SSD. Thanks!

 

[IntelTurtleFan]

If you sli that card you should get 750w. Such as EVGA or XFX. Do not get a Corsair it is low quality.

 

[Coolve]

Yep. That's what I thought. Thanks again.
