This is my first time trying to build a pc and I was wondering if this pc build is good for gaming.

Also what does this mean "AMD 970 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vishera CPUs" and will it affect me?

Get a 1TB drive, you'll really need the extra capacity with games using up more and more space
