This is my first time building a computer and to be honest ,I don't really know much about the different parts. Like I know the functions of each part but don't know how to tell the difference from a good or bad processor/video card/motherboard. So basically, I searched other builds on Youtube/Google and came up with this build. I'm trying to build a somewhat future proof computer that is capable of playing most games in high/ultra settings with an average of 60fps+.

Are you able to play games on maxed setting?
& I don't know much about SSDs but do you think they are worth it for the extra speed especially when they cost so much?
