What are good spec for a gaming PC?
Good enough to deliver the FPS you want at the resolution you want in the games you want to play. The performance of the machine is measured relative to the task it's asked to perform. 1080p gamers are after different hardware than 1440p gamers who find a different sweet spot than 4K gamers.... and that's just on resolution. You can play League of Legends on very modest hardware at a highly competitive level... just don't bring your rig to Star Citizen and expect to get far!There are sweet spots to target, and those targets are always moving. I deliver client rigs on budgets between $750 and $3,000 and they're all "good for gaming." At the end of the day though, it all comes down to "Good enough to do what you want it to do." In today's world that might mean an Athlon X4 860K with an R9-280X (the one I built around 4th of July is turning out 1080P gaming on ultra....) It might mean an i7-4790K paired with an AMD R9-295x2 like the one I did earlier this year (drives multi-monitor really nicely.) I've got a GTX 970 with an i7-5960X on my desk at home... I haven't seen it stutter once in Diablo 3! It just depends what you're trying to achieve. There are lots of ways to achieve 'good' but what good means to you, and what games you want to play... these things introduce a lot of variation into the mix.
Is it a good time now to build a gaming PC?
Due to fluctuating prices of individual components, one could argue that it’s never a good time to build a PC. For the most part, component prices aren’t bad. The exception to this is the GPU market. Due to the cryptocurrency mining mess, GPU prices are a lot higher than what they should be. Prices are slowly returning to normal which would lead me to the conclusion that one should build now because once nVidia’s next generation stuff comes out, prices for that will likely skyrocket and won’t be worth the purchase.Besides, one doesn’t need the bleeding edge of video cards to have a good experience. I still run a GeForce Titan which is a 7th gen GPU and I can still play most games on max settings at 1080p with no major frame rate issues. Bearing in mind that a GTX 1080 (10th gen) is about 130+% faster than my Titan, you could do 1440p gaming at max settings with no major frame rate issues.I usually budget about $2500 for a gaming rig. This gets me pretty close to top end and is usually the biggest bang for the buck. Spending more than this leads to diminishing returns on the investment. Unless of course you have money to burn and want the bleeding edge of gaming power. The rig I’m using currently, I built 5 years ago knowing that I wouldn’t have any opportunity to really upgrade so I sunk about $4000 into it, the Titan being $1000 of that cost at the time. It still works well for me today.A decent resource for keeping track of what’s going on is Maximum PC magazine. Especially when it comes to PC builds.
Gaming pc good enough?

Good Power Supply For a Gaming PC?
Okay when you buy power supplies try to get one that is 80 bronze certified. That means they will run at lease 80 percent of the wattage it says. So i'm going to use this as an example. If a power supply is 100 watts then if you have a 80 bronze certified then it will run at minimum 80 watts on max load. Your gpu is recommended to have 500 watts. So for your setup now i say find a power supply thats 80 bronze certified thats 500 watts. Anyways yeah that 850w even if its not certified should be more then enough. Look to see how effecient it is. Normally they will say 70 percent efficient or 60 percent. It might be low and if it is then i wouldn't get it. a lowend 850 can be as bad as a 400 watt or technicly worse. also 2 more things. some power supplies claims to be 80 plus. That means they never got certified if it says 80 plus bronze certified that means it has been. Its has to say certified or at lease 80 plus bronze. SO be careful. last thing. say that you got the 850watt power supply and its putting out 850watts but only taking advantage of 70 percent of it. The other 30 percent will turn into heat which means it will be louder cause of the fan is running harder to cool it down. this may be alot more info then you needed but figure it make you know more about what your getting.
Is gaming PC also good for programming?
Yes indeed it would be good for programming.Gaming PC’s usually can do everything any other computer can very well. Some gaming peripherals don’t really match development, but go ahead, use the PC. I usually prefer mesh keyboards if one were to have extended periods of typing. You might need an external monitor for development too.I wouldn’t recommend a gaming PC for programming. Though a gaming PC can work fine, but I would recommend a MacBook Pro for everything development. Maybe even a MacBook Air if you want to take a step down. You can take these notebooks on the go and connect them to an external monitor at home. MacBooks are the best because one, they are portable, high end machines, and two, they run Mac OS X. Mac OS X is the best OS for programming because it runs has a Unix based command line, which is better for developers. Many would choose Linux for programming, since it also runs Unix, but Mac OS X is more practical than Linux.Gaming PC’s are overkill for programming, and shouldn’t only be used for programming, but if you’re gaming and doing everything else and doing programming on the side, go ahead. It’s usually best to get a laptop to develop anything. Even Mark Zuckerberg uses a MacBook as his primary computer!

Is an ATX Mid-tower good for a gaming PC or should I look at ATX Full-tower?
a Mid tower is pretty much standard, with the right mid tower and good managment you can run water cooling, fit full size gpu’s and cpu coolers, and store 2–8 hard drives of whatever kind.full towers tend to be more inclined for custom water cooling and even larger numbers of hard drives set in RAIDfor a gaming PC, you can get away with a Mid tower or even lower unless you want the full fat 1080ti or 1180 (June 15th) which at this point you’ll need a mid tower at the least, and this should hold everything fine.
