Yea its decent, motherboard isn't the best if you're going to be gaming.

I would get at least 16gb of RAM but thats just me.

Also since you're going to be gaming I would save up a little more money to be able to buy a 1070.

No, it's pretty bad. Case isn't very good, and is ocer-priced for what it is. PSU and SSD are terrible. GTX 970 doesn't really make sense any more.

Pretty much all companies have good and bad PSUs. Corsair have some good high end PSUs, but their low end units, like the CX500, are terrible. EVGAs budget PSU's are better, though still not great. Also, you can get significantly better quality PSUs for a lower price than the CX500, so it's totally illogical.

I recommend you swap your psu out with something like 600w Bronze EVGA unit for about the same price it is simply just a better unit. The MOBO is fine more expensive MOBOS are only if you are looking to do a ram upgrade you cant currently fit or you prefer a nicer BIOS. I would rethink the GTX 970, maybe an 8GB 1070.
