What do you want to do with the PC? I would change the GPU to some kind of 280X.

 

What resolution, settings and FPS do you want to play on?

Is this build good?

 

Not looking to upgrade..

 

Are these parts ALL the components a gaming PD needs?

 

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/NfzV99

Why not upgrade later on? It's excellent for keeping up to date with the latest demanding games.

The GTX 960 is an excellent card and an excellent overclocker, but if you don't want to upgrade AT ALL, get yourself a GTX 970. I actually use one for 1440p and it is awesome.

The EVGA 500B doesn't have the best reviews.http://www.hardocp.com/article/2013/12/16/evga_500b_500w_power_supply_review/#.VaOkHfk1N9A

I would suggest a higher quality one like an EVGA 550/650GS. It is more expensive, but when it comes to the PSU, you really don't want to skimp.

Is there any reason for the DVD drive? I have only ever needed it once or twice, but they look kind of ugly and are not needed. For the OS, you can just copy it onto a laptop and install via a USB drive.

Also, check to make sure that the CM Hyper 212 EVO fits in the case you specified. The Hyper 212 EVO sits at 159mm tall, so make sure the case can accomodate a CPU cooler of 160+mm height. If you're tight for space, consider a CM Hyper TX3 EVO instead. It sits shorter.

Have you considered an unlocked CPU instead? They're more expensive, as well as getting a Z97 board to overclock, but it adds longevity to your CPU as it can be overclocked later on to keep up with more powerful graphics configurations. However, the locked i5s are still very adequate for gaming, so your choice is not a bad one.

It looks good other than that. Enjoy building! :)
