I'm planning to build my first pc, please rate my components

Tomku

Hello people of linustechtips.com.

 

My name is Tom and I'm planning to build my first pc but I'm new to it all. I want to play games at a decent framerate.

Please rate the components I have chosen. If you have advice please tell me I can really use it :).

The components I have chosen are:

 

Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
graphics card: MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G
motherboard: MSI Z97 GAMING 5
Processor: Intel® Core™ i5 4690K 3.50 Ghz
power: Fortron Hyper Series - 500 Watt
case: Aerocool Aero-1000
RAM: Kingston HyperX FURY Black 8GB 
I have not chosen a hard drive yet, but I vind a SSD card too expensive. So I think I'll just get a normal hard drive of 500GB or 1TB.
I'm going to be using windows 10
 
thanks for your help!
 
sorry for the bad English :D

I'm planning to play fairly big games like GTA V, I don't have a monitor yet and I don't really know what to look for in a monitor.

Perhaps you could go for a slighly cheaper case and get a kingston ssd, they are really cheap now a days and it will keep your computer running speedy. Then you can add a normal mechanical drive for storage. Everything else looks good ;)

Check if this comes under your budget without monitor/peripherals.

I don't need peripherals, I just need to find a monitor that's not too expensive and fits the pc.
