New Gaming build

[MapleRoid]

Hey Im planning to build a gaming PC for the first time and i was wondering if this was good. It only needs to be able to run new games at HD settings (1080p). Is there anything i should change or is this ok? or do i need all this to run the new games coming out soon (is it overkill)?

and if you have any recommendations for gaming monitors as i need to get one as well.

Try your best to not let that power supply get too hot.

Change the PSU to an EVGA GS/G2, the CX series is not that good. Other than that it looks good.

I have a similar build, maxes out just about every game at 1080p without much an overclock. I'm happy with it http://pcpartpicker.com/p/TsdFhM

The PSU is not good. Try an EVGA GS or something else with a SeaSonic OEM
