Everything seems great here :) I suggest u upgrade to a better CPU like the FX-6300 since it isnt that more expensive than the X4 860k and you would benifit from the six cores. Also I highly recommend you get an aftermarket cooler

Seems pretty well for entry level gaming.

As everyone else has said, PLEASE go for a FX-6300, it will make such a HUGE difference.

If you want to OC, an aftermarket cooler will be needed, but for now without OC the stock will do OKAY.
Excellent choice on the SSD.

Might as well end this post here and select an anwser, that build is just fine.

The power can be upgraded if needed, but it does the job.
