Would these parts make a decent gaming PC?

[drlove1987]

This is my first PC build ever and critique it however you would like to. I just need advice on what I may be doing wrong and what I could do better. It is a budget build. I am willing to spend an extra $100 and am open to upgrading or downgrading items. My goal is for it to be able to play games on max settings with at least 60fps for games such as Skyrim, Shogun 2, Rift.

how so? can you elaborate more? do I need to replace the hard drives because of compatibility issues? I did kind of rush everything together.

What's your budget? I think I would switch things around a bit - go with an FX-6300, it's better than the 965.

It IS a decent gaming rig mainly by virtue of the GPU you are proposing to use.

The CPU will bottleneck you a bit in some titles, but you can offset some of that by getting a nice cpu cooler and overclocking it.
Otherwise, it is decent!
