I've been building this PC for about a month by getting parts here and there. I'm very new at this and after watching countless YouTube vids, I just decided to dive in. I've finished building it a few days ago.

What I want to know is...

How good is this build?
What can I do to make it better besides just adding an SSD and upgrading the RAM to 16GB?

Should the following scores be better than what the following is saying?

I would get an SSD, from Samsung, at least 128gb, and instead of adding another 8gb of RAM, which won't deliver that much more performance (we are talking maybe 0.5 fps more in games) and add an aftermarket CPU cooler, like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO or the Corsair H80i watercooler. Or you can get a dial 120mm watercooler, like the Corsair H100i or the H105, or a Cooler Master Sedion 240M. They will lower overall temps, and give you a better overclock. Which will boot performance by a lot. I'd also try to tie some of those cables back so that you have better airflow, and adding a 200mm fan on the front of the case, instead of the 120/140mm fan that you have on the front.
