What do you think?

Most of it is purchased just need the finishing touch. Will the mobo, cpu and gpu suffice for a good gaming rig?

Thanks
 
you need a 450w psu minimum for that gpu. in fact 1s you take the rest of the build into account 550w would be the better option. theres a good chance the pc will run with that 430w unit but within a few months it will likely start stressing.
also mixing ram is not a good idea even when its the same speed. why? they will likely have different jdec's/latencies if they can match up at 1600 then you may get away with it but more often than not you will have to run at mixed latencies which often means slower speeds and stability issues.
you may be better off getting a 750ti it should run similar to the 660 but with lower power consumption. if you cant get an different psu.
 
Had to change the CPU and Mobo. The rams voltage was to high for haswell. this is a revised build. I will upgrade the psu but ive purchased it already so will give it ago. The power consumption still doesn't go near 430W as it stands and if im right corsairs PSU are quite efficient.
