Sup guys, I dont know alot about PC gaming builds or something, but im kind of interested in one PC. I think it has a fair price, since it is already collected, you of course have to overpay a little bit. What do you Think? 
GPU:NVIDIA® GeForce™ GTX 960 2GB

CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-4790K Can overclock up to 4.4Ghz
Motherboard:Intel® Z97
RAM:Kingston 8GB 1866MHz DDR3 HyperX Fury Red

Case : Aerocool Strike X-One
PSU : 600W ATX Silent 120mm

HDD: 2000GB SATA3.0(6GB) 7200RPM

I know the GPU is 2gb, but that should not be a problem for running games at 60 fps like Watch Dogs, GTA V, The Witcher. It costs 1 058 $. So i dont know if i should get it and upgrade GPU, cause i am not a handy tech expert 

Waiting for responses!
Sincerely, MEEE

Well previously i had a really sh*t PC, with 4gb of rams, and completely bad CPU, I bought it for 2 grand about 7 years ago, ir worked really good, and handed games like csgo-LoL-Dota, at 60 fps, gpu was really bad too. In my eyes this pc would hold as double as time

Its a good build.

U would need better GPU if u want to play games on high-ultra.

And definately u want an SSD.

Better gaming build would be:

i5-4690k (i7 is useless for gaming atm, might help with DX12 games though)

Gtx 970

Z97-A

600-700w 80+ bronze

8gb ram

Hyper evo cpu cooler or better depending on the OC.

500gb-1tb Hdd

120-256gb ssd

I believe price would be the same but i might be wrong so check partpicker ?!

The parts i named would do better job for gaming and anyone would recommend u i5 over i7 for gaming.

Connection200mbps / 12mbps 5Ghz wifi

My baby: CPU - i7-4790, MB - Z97-A, RAM - Corsair Veng. LP 16gb, GPU - MSI GTX 1060, PSU - CXM 600, Storage - Evo 840 120gb, MX100 256gb, WD Blue 1TB, Cooler - Hyper Evo 212, Case - Corsair Carbide 200R, Monitor - Benq  XL2430T 144Hz, Mouse - FinalMouse, Keyboard -K70 RGB, OS - Win 10, Audio - DT990 Pro, Phone - iPhone SE

Can someone explain to me why i5 is better for gaming than i7? Doesnt i7 have more cores and GHz, so that helps with FPS and stuff? Because i see you use i7 @Thony.

The performance in games is roughly the same and it costs less. If you would upgrade the GPU though, you would see a much bigger difference.

I'm here just for the photos.

I7 has more threads, which only really help with rendering and workloads.

 

Games don't take advantage of hyper-threading and very few ever will.

 

Get a I5 4690k and 970 or 290(x) that way you meet the recommended spec for VR if that tickles your fancy.

Well this pc is pre-build, but the guy said to take it apart, doesnt require much skill, and if im planning to upgrade some parts, i can go to him. So i think i will stay with this pc for a fair price, and if i want to run like Crysis 3 On ultra-high graphics or the newest cod on 1920x1280 with High shader and Ultra high graphics, i may consider an upgrade. Thanx Everyone for suggestions!
