I've been trying to build a gaming PC to be able to run games like ARK: Survival Evolved and GTA V at 60 frames on ultra. Not planning on playing on higher resolutions than 1080p... Is this build good and is there anything wrong with it? If so feel free to edit the build and link it below.

Try this version, better quality PSU (and cheaper) and the ASUS STRIX cooler based 970, which is a much better cooler:
