I was wondering if my pc was good to play the latest games. I want to know if my pc is good and what I should upgrade in the future.

PC Specs:
CPU: AMD FX 6300 Black Edition
GPU: EVGA Geforce GTX 960 SSC 4GB
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3
RAM: Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) 1600MHZ DDR3
Power Supply: Corsair CX600
Case: Zalman Z11 Plus
CPU Cooler: Standard one from AMD
Case fans: original case fans
OS: Windows 8.1 64 bit
Hard Drive: Seagate 1TB 7200RPM

Decent spec - if you have a little wiggle room in your budget, the only changes I would consider are:

-Switching to a CS instead of CS power supply (the CX's are crap - I went through 2 of them before I switched)
-Upgrade from the stock cooler to a 212 EVO - the FX chips run hot and though you probably won't burn it up unless you overclock, it will still make you nervous if you look at the CPU temps - especially when you're encoding video
-whatever extra funds you have should go to your GPU - the 960 is a proficient card but you'll see a significant improvement in stability and FPS with an overclocked 970

Those are just a couple of things to consider - you could definitely stick with what you have, but you'll find yourself wanting...

Those are just a couple of things to consider - you could definitely stick with what you have, but you'll find yourself wanting more performance and you'll pay a lot more to replace parts than to just spend a little more initially.
