    Pretty good core specs. That's a good machine to get introduced to PC gaming. It should last you a good 5 years at least playing AAA games on high settings.

    I'd add another SSD. You'd be surprised how fast your OS and programs load when installed to an SSD. One 500GB SSD fills up quickly with the size of games nowadays. Once you get comfortable with some minor upgrades, you'll realize how easy it is to plug and play all your parts to build a new one in the future.

    Nice setup, I'm on 4790k and 970 sli (I know they suck with the whole 3.5 thing but I got one for free and it's decent right now). I'm going to upgrade soon to 1080..

    Regardless that setup you have is awesome, I bet that monitor is great! It's funny when people get a 120hz TV and it can't even accept a 120hz signal, your monitor though is the real deal

    I actually just picked up the ASUS version of that monitor myself last week. Quite an upgrade from the old 1080p 60hz standard.

    Props on joining the master race.

    You sound like you're 50 or something. In this generation it's completely normal to play video games whatever your age might be. And LOL at that coming from a guy with Dragon Ball Z avatar :D

    finding the time is another matter. I only play games where the objective is clear.

    I plan on building one this year. What resources did you use to get specs and stuff. I have no clue where to begin.
