Is this good build?

[K_jaba]

So... I'm building my first gaming PC. I have been thinking about the parts for 2 months and I'm about to order my PC at the beginning of December. Can this run new games. Which parts would you switch? My budget is just a little bit over 1000. Thanks already.

This is solid and balanced build.Will run new games spectacularly.I mean,sure it's no titan but for the price,it's ruddy fantastic

One thing i would change is the PSU. Try looking at the TX series with corsair or the m12ii series with seasonic.That's abut it. 550 or 600w if you're paranoid and want the headroom for when you overclock.

Pretty sure you can find RAM for cheaper than that.Try the GSkill Ares series.2x4gb 1600mhz
Caviar blue is sufficent HDD for most people.Can save a few dollars there as well.See if you can afford an SSD for your OS.Makes your system snappy
Case is subjective.Just do your due dilligence and research on it.

Well, the case comes with fans so you don't really need them. Also you can save money getting a cheaper, less flashy case. I also upgraded you to a 280x (770 performance) Oh, and you'll need thermal paste if you don't have any. Here: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1XRme

You put k CPU on MB that doesn't supports overclocking 😀

How is this? I changed the GPU, PSU and RAM. I also added the SSD I forgot to put on the first list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1YcQn

Case and case fans are subjective.So not gonna harp on it. Add in thermal compund.You need it when installing the EVO.
Good PSU.Any reason you would need 650W? I think 600W would be more than enough even after factoring a moderate overclock. Look at xfx and seasonic as well.

Well, I took 650w because I think I might add more parts in future, for example 2 GPUs, maybe some LEDs. And I wanna make sure that I don't have to buy a new PSU for a while, even when I add parts.

Ah,if you want to add in another 280x,you should be looking at 800W,minimum,
