Is this PC build any good? (My First Build)

[JackkLewis]

Hi guys,

was completing my first build, and wanted to know whether this was any good?

Can I have any suggestions of what I can improve please?

Assuming where looking at the black and white build the 970 will not be able to put out 144 fps

Do not buy any CX corsair power supplies, they're notoriously crappy and fail all the time. ive had experience with a 430w cx and a 750m cx and both of them died and took out components. you also dont need that overkill of a power supply, go for a lower wattage and get a higher quality psu

The CX series are not good, they use poor secondary capacitors with a high failure rate. The 550w G2 is much much better quality and only 10 quid more.

Discluding the PSU, due to me changing it to suit the needs of my rig. Would you be able to tell me about the rest of the configuration, as I am having doubts about the Mobo, RAM and Cooler. I am also having doubts about how long this rig will last, due to looking at many reviews and seeing there are a number of similar rigs that have had a number of problems. This PC will purely be built for gaming, if that helps at all.

Thanks for the reply, do you have an evidence to prove that this rig will work the way I want it to? (Gaming at Max Settings, Light Video Editing and Some Casual Streaming). I'm just very wary, due to me seeing some false and some true reviews about these particular parts when in use.

I have now switched to the 'EVGA SuperNOVA G2 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply' and here is my current configuration; https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/JackkLewis/saved/

I was wondering whether you can give me some assistance in terms of choosing particular components to make my rig as efficient as possible, for video editing, gaming and streaming? My current part list seems efficient from ratings on particular websites, but I'm still a little concerned that It would be possible to make it a little more efficient, to enable me to have a much smoother running PC.

Current Budget for everything including peripherals is around £2000, excluding the peripherals I can push the rig to around £1100 possibly.
