I was wondering if this is a good build for a pc to run medium-high settings on CS:GO. I am new to pc gaming and building. I have no idea what I am doing but I threw this together. Is it a good build and is it worth the money? The link is below. Thanks

Yes that will be fine, but I recommend you get a higher quality power supply, like an XFX TS 550W. Or an EVGA Supernova GS 550W.

no need for i7 unless youre really going to be using the extra horsepower, it will make no difference in gaming or everyday tasks

Drop the 6700K and go for 6600K. Put the saved cash towards a GTX 970 or SSD. Really consider a SSD if you're spending that much on a higher-end build . Yes, PSU could be a little better quality. Alternatives listed above are great.

R9 380 is probably a better choice than the GTX 960.

The R9 380 is indeed more powerful.

You do not need to spend that on a motherboard with a non K processor unless you want to sli or upgrade to a K chip in the future. You could get a decent motherboard for about half that price.

Something like this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-h170pro4s or any H170 board that takes your fancy. The cooler will not be needed either. With the savings you could get a GTX 970 or R9 390. I upgraded from 960 to a 970 and the difference was huge without stressing/loading my CPU at all.

The CPU cooler, the Hyper 212 EVO, is unnecessary. That CPU cannot be overclocked, and at 3.1Ghz is not going to produce much heat. The cooler is only going to take up space.

Well, if you want (and it is totally unnecessary) you could take the money from the CPU cooler and invest in a fully modular power supply (so you only attatch the cables you need). Like this one http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Continuous-Crossfire-220-GS-0550-V1/dp/B00UVN20UO

Now with the money saved from the motherboard and CPU cooler, actually you could buy the NZXT red/black H440 case if you're into stylish cases.
