The PSU maybe not suitable as it has 2 X 12V rails with only 18 & 19A my GTX970 needs 25A don't know about a 960. Get a PSU with a single rail.

The maverick 500Wwould give a you a little space.

Looks to me sufficient for squad but not on all High/Epic. I have a 4.2CPU and 970 and it runs fine on high/Epic no idea of fps though.

Not getting an SSD in a new build seems a bit old fashioned although all it does is speed up load times and reactivity ... a lot.
