Power supply is good, though I'd recommend a bit more. It will work otherwise. It will run all the games you mentioned, easily. You should be able to handle some mods, not a crap ton. All the parts are compatible. I would recommend CL9 RAM though... it's kind of the "standard," I would say...

Build: CPU: Intel Core i5 4690k | CPU Cooler: Hyper 212 Evo | Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 5 | RAM: 8GB G-Skill Ares 1600Mhz CL9 | Storage: 120GB Samsung 840 Evo + WD Blue 1TB 64MB Cache + Seagate Barracuda 2TB 64MB Cache | GPU: MSI GTX 960 | Case: Cooler Master Storm Enforcer | Power Supply: EVGA 600B Non-Modular |

Is MT/s the same as MHz? Because I found RAM that's 1600 MT/s for only a few bucks more than the other one.

@Flamel777, I put your build into pcpartpicker.com. See http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qM9YmG. A different case would be a very good idea as the gpu will not fit in the Rosewill case. Also the case doesn't have any USB 3.0 ports on the front - not that this is a big thing.

 

A different case. Better memory at the same cost.
