Is this custom gaming pc good?

Solution
Firstly you've got a OTT heat-sink for a CPU that isn't overclockable so that's kind of pointless you should change the CPU or stick with the stock heat-sink. Next get a pci-e wifi connector for better speeds otherwise your going to have bad time. Also buy a cheap window 7 and just upgrade it to windows 10 for free. Lastly you should get a SSD it's really worth the speed upgrade even if you just get a 120gb for the OS.

I totally agree on this, and in addition, you can save a few bucks for the ssd if you get a cheaper 1600MHz RAM. I don't think those would be running on 1866 speeds on a B85 board, and even if they do, the difference would be marginal.

Also, we're seeing games begin requiring at least 3GB VRAM, so might be worth considering the 4GB version of the GTX960, or the better bang-for-buck R9-380.

I think that's a great call go for the R9-380 they has been some great price over blackfriday. 4GB of VRAM is a must more modern gaming i've got a 760 with 2GB's of ram and the biggest bottle neck is the VRAM
