Change the Hyper 212 evo for a H100i ... get a 250G SSD (or 120G) and a 500G SSD instead of the 1T, use the small one for Windows. Are you going to do video capture and editing of your gaming ? You might want to go say hello to the Tom's Hardware website, they will help a lot.

Hi :) yea all of that woll work together :) i have a gigabyte gtx 970 4gb ftw.. a amd fx 8350.. and a msi gaming motherboard.... yes you have a gigabyte motherboard, but all amd motherboards are designed to fit pretty much anything you can throw at it.. thats why amd is soo amazing :) so yes all of your parts will fit and work great! And the case is really nice! And will hold all your parts and look awesome doing it!! Happy building my friend

I have the same motherboard: AMD 760G Chipset, 16GB memory and it works very well, never frieze and runs games very well personally I recommend it

Fans are great, I've played games for hours with no problem at all, as long as you have a good CPU cooler and Gpu

Though I have Never Personally used an MSI, im somewhat confident that as long as it is AM3+, it should work. though i would take the time to read the specs and reviews.

i picked mine from this list, make sure its better than onboard Intel graphics if you have that.http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html

Looks fine to me, to be certain go to pcpartpicker.com and plug in all of your parts with the compatibility filter enabled.

Make sure you received directions and all the parts (check against the packing list).... The comments from others explain the install process very well so I won't repeat those. Good Luck.

If you don't know the answer to this question I would purchase a gaming system instead... I bought not and it crashes all the time... I also had to fight warranty issues with Alienware because thy kept sending me broken comps... This computers are garbage sorry... I regret my purchase

Kip answered already, also, be sure to get lots of RAM and a couple of top notch NVIDIA video cards for SLI (Scalable Link Interface)- then it's a gaming MoBo :-)I maxed mine out with 64 G of RAM

It depends on your motherboard mainly. Do you have an NVidia or AMD chipset? I'd check with the PC's manual (if it came with one) or ask the manufacturer of the motherboard. If you bought a preassembled PC like a Dell or HP or something the manual should give you an idea what to use. Email technical support of the manufacturer to find out if necessary or talk to a PC Technician at a local PC shop if needed. You don't want to buy something that your PC isn't up to handling. You can look online too for recommended video cards for your motherboard/PC. Good luck! Don't buy something until you're confident it's right for you. It depends on your motherboard mainly.

Replace the hdd with an ssd and it will be more than adequate for gaming on medium to low settings. I suggest only gaming while plugged into an outlet though as power draw will be high during gaming.

Yes, works great. Motherboard doesn't make a huge difference for games though really -- get a nice video card, plenty of RAM and CPU and you're good.

James, if you are not running any mmorpg games, go with the bare minimum. I built mine with a 3.2 ghz dual core Pentium, 6 gig ddr RAM, 500 Gb hd, and NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT video.

Hi John.This computer could be a decent gaming machine if you do the following. Add a 64 bit OS to it. Then add like 8GB of ram. Now your talking! However your card with an i5 or i7. Is insane dual core processors vs quad cores for gaming will produce a lot more frames per seconds. I hope that helped and sorry for the typos.
