Hi all. I'm building my first gaming pc after I made the horrible mistake of buying a laptop a few years ago. I think I have some pretty decent specs for the price. All that I want to do is run BF4, GTAV, FSX, and other things at >=45 fps. I've used pcpartpicker for all of the things and I want to know what you guys think. Here are the specs:

CPU: AMD FX-6300

Video: Gigabyte GeForce 1060 3gb windforce oc video card

Motherboard: MSI 970 Gaming ATX AM3+

RAM: Crucial Ballistix sport 8 gb (1 stick)

Storage: WD caviar blue 1tb 7200rpm internal hard drive 3.5"

SSD: 256GB Transcend 2.5"

PSU: EVGA 430 W1 430 watt psu

The case that I'm buying is compatible with the standard atx mobo and has correct drive bays.
