I posted a topic a few days ago about my plan to build my own PC. It will also be my first build ever.

 

I got some great tips and I changed my build slightly due to finding out I'm terrible at choosing parts and I could save a lot of money and get better specs for it too.

 

Would anyone with some more knowledge than me care to look over this build once again with what I plan to be the final parts I will be buying and maybe somebody could tell me if they would change anything or anything like that. Also, with my lack of knowledge or judgement on how good parts are could anyone give me an estimated idea of what quality I could run newish games like Battlefield, GTA 5 etc. on and how many frames I might get.

Thank you so much!

Pretty solid build, will easily handle 1080p. Do you plan on adding another 970 in SLI in the future? If so I would bump your power supply up to 750w to facilitate that future upgrade.
