I am new in the world of pc building but i want to build my own gaming pc.

This is the PC i want to build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/MMpy6h

Is this a good gaming pc build or what do i need to switch/add.
I also want to know if this build is good for overclocking.

For games, not necessary to Overclock your AMD chip. I would rather suggest to go with an Intel chip if you're looking for performance. An Intel Quad core is better than AMD FX Eight cores even you Overclock. It is power efficient, produce less heat, and performs much better than AMD CPU's.

If one wants to play Battlefield 4, for example, or if one does not want to upgrade for some time, a person would rather go with something like 860K or FX-6300.
