Alright so i am looking to sell my 360 and go to pc gaming. I want to build a pc that will be able to run current pc games and games coming out in the future like (Fallout 4) I also want to play some present games like GTA V ,Skyrim, Battlefield 4 ,etc..... So i am pretty new to pc building and i just want to know if this is a good build to do what i am hoping for it to do. Could i save Money on buying parts that work the same or are even better? If i can save money please let me know. Here is the build let me know if this is good. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mqD9Hx Thanks in advance :)

YE PC MASTER RACE. Anyway, yes that build is great! To save money, consider Windows 10 (ITS FREEEEE). Also, you probably will not need a DVD/CD writer. I have one and have never used it... also try finding a better price on that 970. $340 is not bad, but it is not good either. A little searching could save you ~$20. About the case, it IS a good case, and will serve you well, but I promise putting in a few more dollars to get a sexy case you can look at and say "dayum son" is well worth it. Other than that great parts.

UPDATE:
That Win 7 is OEM, you are not really supposed to use it... but you can. You just cannot change your motherboard though... Maybe find another non-OEM copy, or use um... [strike]Windows Loader[/strike]

You would need an empty CD or USB. You would then use a computer to download a Windows 10 .ISO and write the disk image to it. And BAM you have a Windows install disk. Follow these detailed instructions:
