Now I will be running Windows 10 64 Bit, any feed back good or bad will be greatly appreciated. Do you think I need to change any components. Upgrade anything. My personal feelings are that I might need to swap the mother board but I really don't know. Its been a many years since I built a P.C. The main purpose is for Gaming, Online FPS like battlefield and I want to play it with ramped up settings all maxed.
please discuss

Change hard drive to Western Digital Blue 64mb drive.
Change SSD drive to Samsung 850 evo 120 to 250 gb as a 60 gb drive will run out of room fairly quick.
GTX 970 only requires a good 500 watt power supply, get a corsair cx500 or cx600 if you want.
Motherboard I would change to gigabyte instead of msi.
 
I'd get something other than a low end H81 board. You'd probably be better off building with Skylake for future expandability as well.

I'd stay away from the V300, a lot of consumer units were changed from the review units and perform quite poorly.
 
The mother board was something I was kinda worried about the most. I expected that to be the thing I wanted to change the most. But its been a long time for me since I even looked at the new tech for P.Cs, over 12 years since I built my last one. Thanks guys I will look into it a bit more.
