Is my PC build good for gaming?

Solution
For gaming, you would better served making an Intel build. The power supply is very quality and I would advise against. The 970 is a bit expensive consider the 1070 goes for 380 and will outperform it easily.

Yea get the RX 480 when it comes out. It's 970 performance for 200 bucks. Also you get good OC.

Why though. He's only doing 1080p and then I mean the RX 480 is a much better option.

And why save up. What I gave is around the budget and is a perfect Intel build that will last up you a good few years.
