Motherboard: Asrock 960GM/U3S3 FX 57€
GPU: Asus GeForce GTX960 Strix DirectCU II 2GB Edition 217€

I will build my rig only using trusted brands, like Cooler Master or Corsair ;).

 

I live I Lithuania. So it's pretty poor selection of parts :).

Please let me now, what is wrong with this build, and what I need to change. And if there is any possible bottlenecks.

Whats about the CPU cooler? Think about getting an Small low-budget SSD. These aren't expensive anymore and speed up the system really good :)

Please stop with this PC master race crap, it makes us look like douchebags.

 

OP. Micro ATX with FX cpus is not reccomended due to low quality heatsinks on micro ATX fm3+.

Also, from which site will you be buying your parts from?

If you are Gaming you should look at Quad core CPU's, There are not many gamea which make use of more than 4 cores. The athlon 860k performs better than the 8350(non-overclocked) in most games, Just go to the fm2+ platform and save money, Or go to it and throw in a more powerful GPU.

Any SSD that is either below 128gb or is a v300 series one is a bad idea and no one should buy them.

Upgrade the Hard drive to 1tb, it's a few extra bucks, but it gives you double the room.
