Get an I5 instead and a r9 280(x) instead.

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

1. What's your budget 2.Future Proofing DOES NOT EXIST 3. Try going with intel they usually run cooler and have more possibilities to get pushed further 4.I cant tell you anything about the fx card but try sticking with a newer one

The Y.E.T.I. is in progress?Whaaat? (modding aproach&build log)->http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/355618-project-yeti-first-build/

It depends on what you want to achieve from your rig dude, 2014 we seen a shift in gaming requirements, leaving the "next gen" for dust. If you have any spare cash I would get rid of the amd processor, its going to bottleneck gaming horrifically. an i5 4690k would complement your rig beautifully. You have to get rid of that cpu dude. 30fps(max) medium/high settings is probably where you are a right now for the likes of GTA V adding an 4690k will probably push you to a good mix of high/very high settings at 40fps+ (minimum) with a good overclock/hyperthreading.

If you can add a 970 in place of 7590 you'll be 60fps ultra settings happy.

it's a choice between console experience or pc experience.

They do run cooler, but AMD generally does have better overclocks
