Hey guys! I'm new here, and have been using Tom's to get info for my very first build. I have never built a computer before, or actually ever owned an actual performance PC, so this is a pretty interesting experience.

I've decided to build my own gaming PC, and I just wanted to know if there are any thoughts about my proposed build. I've been researching for weeks, and this is what I've come up with.

- Antec Nine Hundred case

- Intel i5 6600K

- MSi Z170 Krait Gaming Motherboard

- EVGA 4GB Superclocked ACX 2.0 GTX 970 GPU

- Antec EDGE 650W 80+ GOLD Fully Modular PSU

- G.Skillz Ripjaws 4 Series 16GB DDR4 RAM (4x4)

- Zalman CNP MAX-B CPU Cooler

- WD Blue 1 TB HDD + 128GB Samsung EVO SSD

Then I have to buy a DVD drive and a couple extra 120mm fans for good measure. What do you guys think? Is this OK as a mid-tier gaming rig? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
