So I have been making pcs on pc part picker trying to make a good pc and i think i made one. I need lots of storage for my family as it will replace our current pc and they use lots of storage. It needs to be good for gaming and basically what i wanna know is:
1. Will this be good for 1080p gaming on max settings.
2. How long will i be able to use this without upgrading my graphics card if I'm willing to lower settings later.
3. Will this also be a good all round pc for things like school work and some photo/video Editing
I'm a first time builder if that changes anything but I'm a hardcore gamer and i have played on pc for a while.

If you can step up to at least a 250 GB SSD I would recommend you do so. That 120 GB SSD will fill up fast if you have a lot of programs to install. Plus, all the programs will have to be updated and those updates will take up even more space. Just something to consider. If you won't be installing many programs, then the 120 GB SSD may be perfectly fine.

Your build looks good and you certainly ought to be able to enjoy 1080 gaming with no issues. And just so you know, NVIDIA is rumored to be releasing new GPUs in June, so if you want to wait a little longer before building, it may be worth the wait.

I think that will definitely be a nice all-round pc for gaming and editing.

Best of luck with your build and have fun!

The GPU will keep you gaming at High levels for a few years (not every game but the majority). The CPU is boss. Really, the best you could do without dropping serious i7 money. Memory and RAM are great. The video/photo editing are hard to judge but unless you do that for a living you're good to go.

You've spent serious money and this build will game, edit, and crush it for 2-3.

Indeed, this should to be able to process most of todays modern games with ease but id consider getting an i7 instead of an i5 but man your graphics card is beastly, but i am no technical expert, i just know my graphics cards, and this will defiantly keep you going for a few years!

good luck

Way awesome build. Pretty much identical to mine, but I'm running haswell. Wont need any upgrades for years. But yeah i would trade the cpu cooler for a hyper 212 (cheaper, you arent overclocking anyway) and spend the money saved on a bigger ssd. For 80 ish you can get a 250gb. And the 212 will keep you at 60c or better at stock clocks. But either way thats a pretty sick build.

Edit. The hyper 212 is arguably the best cooler for the money. Why is the Hyper 212 so good?
