Intro level gaming build

Build Description
I built this as my first foray into gaming PCs. I originally wanted to play God of War on it, but it seems a bit slow unfortunately. I'm not sure if I'll upgrade any individual parts; I might just revamp the entire thing.
I also messed up and got a case that didn't fit my GPU, so it's currently being housed in a cardboard box. I have to power it on with a screwdriver so that's been an interesting experience.

Favorite Feature
I'm a big fan of the Samsung 980 PRO SSD. When I switched to it from my old HDD, I noticed a massive improvement in load times.
