Everything is good for a lower end PC build.... but the graphics card is garbage for a system like that. A GTX 750 Ti being a lower end card will give you twice the performance. With that build by itself, garbage performance. For that price, you could build your own and get 4 times or more the performance.

i've heard bad things about the video card so that's the main reason I asked. Can you recommend a website to help me pick parts?

www.pcpartpicker.com Most popular and the best site to pick out parts. Almost everyone building a PC uses this to see how much their build costs and if it is compatible with other parts. If you have any questions, just ask.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/cGfm6h I looked at your build and changed a few things. Here is what I changed:

Higher end CPU
Removed the water cooler which was not needed for your rig and added a high end air cooler
Higher end motherboard with the latest ports
Decreased the RAM from 16GB to 8GB. 16GB is needed yet for gaming.
Changed the video card from the GTX 960 4Gb to the 2GB. Not only does it match your white case, you will not need more than 2GB for a while. One of the few times where you might need more is trying to run a game like GTA V at high settings.
Changed the power supply. Still the same wattage but will last you way longer than the other cheapo one.
Added in an optical drive for 20 bucks so you can play things like DVD's.
Last thing I did was change the operating system from Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro.

In the end with my changes, the build costs around 793 dollars. Possibly could be a little but more depending on other expenses.

Why do you need Windows 10 Pro? What do you need with that vs. Windows 10 Home? :??:

I wouldn't bother with those POS pre built PCs they sell on Amazon - too often companies like that go cheap on critical components like the power supply. I also wouldn't bother with AMD FX either. If you build it yourself here's a much better system I would suggest for $800:

That will be a far better gaming PC than just about any AMD FX based build will get you for that budget. Even the lowest end i5 will be better than the highest end AMD FX for gaming.
