Would this PC be any good for mid/high end gaming?

[BobbyPick]

I've put together a few parts and just wondering how well they would do when gaming? I play games such as Rust and CS:GO at the moment but wanting to get Forza Horizon 3 and Battlefield 1 and be able to run these at high settings with around 40-60fps, would that be possible with this system? I know the GPU isn't the greatest but i have already bought it but will be upgrading it in the future. Also is there anywhere i can change on the PC to upgrade the performance without it costing much more? My budget is £600 and wouldn't like to go over that.

The CPU is kinda overkill for the GTX 960, it should run CS:GO without problems with maxed settings. Getting non overclocking CPU and motherboard is more price efficient, and overclocking isn't needed to run the GTX 960, it also consumes much more electricity. I changed your build and also added a SSD to put windows on to make the system faster.

Thanks for the reply! i am planning on buying a new GPU (1070 or 1080) in the future which will then lead me to overclocking the CPU.

CPU COOLER - Check out the Deepcool below rather than then CM Hyper. Better performance at the same cost.
MB - I prefer ASUS or Gigabyte over MSI, but you would probably be fine with either.
MEM - Faster and lower latency on the modules below for less cost.
SSD - Added one.
PSU - No. Even though you already purchased it... No. The EVGA W1 lineup is pretty poor and you should not be overclocking or running a high-end GPU on it (after you upgrade). XFX, Seasonic, the EVGA G2 lineup, or filter through the Tier 1 or Tier 2 list. www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
