I have been looking for parts to build my first Gaming PC and found these parts. I was Wondering if this is a good build, and if this CPU would work together with the graphics card I picked. I already have a Hard Drive to go with his build. I was also wondering if this would be able to run Black ops 3 with over 60 fps. Please help!

It is good, but not good enough. You should get the newer cpu, skylake i5, and gtx1060. If you can buy the parts from newegg, or other you will save more.
