That's not bad. You need a better PSU though. That one is not good for the money. Let me try and do a little modifying to your build.

It will run any game on max 60fps+, Although you should overclock that CPU.

No. the PSU is an expensive pile of low quality garbage.

If you live next to a micro center go with bignastyid's build!

Otherwise this build is the better one so far.
