 Is this a solid build? This will be a gaming PC Note I'm in the USA. If you have any questions ask away down below.

This is the first build i'd seen where the OP made a solid gaming build that is actually great. Looks fine to me for a solid gaming build.

This is a build where I can't change anything to make it better because IT IS solid. Good job.

Thanks guys I've done a good amount of research I feel. It's nice knowing I put together a good build.Thanks for the feed back.

There's not much we can change, because this build is already rock solid as can be.

Looks very good! Obviously an SSD would be nice but to fit one you'd have to forgo the 970 so I'd say keep the 970 and get the SSD in the future. Also you may wish to consider buying the retail version of Windows 8.1, it doesn't actually cost that much more but there'll be less future hassle with upgrades (I think...?). Probably not that much of an issue though so I'd say you're good to go
