Is this a good gaming computer?

Hi is this a good gaming build for a first time builder? Is there a way to lower the price without losing out on performance?

Its the minimum you should get for a performance PC!

maybe you can move over this mobo:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($56.98 @ SuperBiiz)
its a decent one too and does good in performance!

I would usually recommend bare minimum a 270x and some are just about ten to twenty dollars more

Jameson Clark :

yes indeed.
for a 1080p thats a far better performing card.

I advise you to stick with your motherboard (the Asus M5A97 R2.0). The one Niko_Boy suggested has an older chipset.

Just get windows 8.1 it's faster and has more support for things like directX. Sure the UI kinda sucks but the 8.1 update allows it to be much more similar to what everyone is used to.

+1, the 760G chipset is not ideal for newer builds, it's well worth to stick with a 970/990FX chipset
