I live in south africa and if anyone lives here they know how expensive it is to buy pc parts from online stores

Because of shipping and import fees. We don't have many stores that sell pc components for building your own gaming pc.I looked at eBay and I added up some of the costs of what I want and it is already passed my budget from what I calculated on

Get 8GB of ram instead of 16GB. (You won't be using the extra amount with the settings you'd be using).

 

Maybe look at changing the case or motherboard as an ITX would look quite small in a ATX case.  Look at getting a windows key from Reddit or various Forums (Will get it for around $20-30). Also as noted above get a different PSU and try to get a fully/semi modular one as there a lot easier for cable management. (Seasonic, EVGA and Superflower are all good brands for PSU's).

 

With the savings invest in a better CPU, preferably a Intel i3/i5. (You would need to change your MB choice for this)

CPU: i7 8700k   Motherboard: Asus Maximus Hero  RAM: 16GB @ 3600Mhz  GPU: MSI 980Ti 6G  Case: Fractal Design R5 (4 Intakes/3Exhausts)  Storage: Crucial BX100 SSD, Samsung 850 & Seagate 2TB HDD  PSU: Seasonic M12II Evo '850W'  CPU Cooling: Corsair H110i GT

Intel has a vast improvement in performance over AMD chips. If you was getting something under a 380 I'd recommend an AMD chip. But for a little bit more the Intel CPU will give you a better experience when using the computer in general and gaming. (More fps, better average/higher lower fps and general overall responsiveness)

 

 Ram wise I'd recommend using 1600mhz as it's cheap enough and is pretty much the standard for DDR3.

Intel cpu is too expensive . Is there an Intel cpu without a built in gpu that is cheaper? I was looking at Intel Core i5-4690K.
