Hi everyone, I'm extremely new to the world of PC gaming and I've found this to be the best site to get information off of.
My current build is
CPU: Intel i5-4460
GPU: MSI GTX 970 4GD5T OC
MOBO: MSI B85-E45
RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHZ (blue kind)
PSU: XFX TS 650w 80 gold plus
HDD: 1 TB Seagate ST1000DM003
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO SATA 120GB
Case: Phanteks Enthroo Pro M Mid
Is my build any good?
My main concern is the GPU, I bought the cheaper gtx 970 model but I'm starting to worry about it a bit. I've read some things about the cooling and such. I wish I had bought the Gaming version from MSI instead but it's a little late for that. Is the GPU I have a bad one? Will it hinder me playing in 1080p or will other parts of my build?
I only intend to play in 1080p now and in the future. Not really interested in OCing anything as it's a little too technical for me.
Would greatly appreciate any help with this, I'm still very uncertain with my choices even though I've already bought the stuff.
Thanks for your time.

sorry it took so long to get back. Finally over my anxiety about the card. It's not quite as a good as the MSI gaming one for overclocking and stuff but for someone who just wants a powerful, easy GPU for 1080p with no overclocking, I think the 4gd5t is a great match
