is this a good set up for gaming pc.
NVIDIA GTX 970 4GB
Intel Core i5 4690K CPU
8GB 1600MHz Memory

Yes sir. Very standard

Brillis Wuce · Feb 10, 2015

From the spec's you posted, yes, that's a great combination, but it largely depends on the rest (motherboard, PSU, monitor).

mother ASUS Z97-E
power 600W Corsair CX
storage 1x (1TB Seagate (7200 RPM) (64MB Cache
or might go with i7-4790K Processor
monitor haven't got that far

That's a solid build. The only thing I would avoid is the CX power supply.

any suggestions on the power and you really thank its good to get good gaming and decent graphics. Ive been a xbox guy but converting to pc so not 100% sure whats great or not

Xbox runs at either 720p or 900p, so a 1080p gaming machine will look great to you. The GTX 970 is more than enough for 1080p.

For your power supply, consider this...
