This would be quite a bit stronger for only $24 more. The SSD is only slighter weaker, the RAM is better, the case is still good and you have a much stronger graphics card.

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Everything looks great about that build through my eyes. Except maybe go with the R9 280X, I think it's a bit cheaper and performs the same, but I can't remember at the top of my head.

thank you for help, but the 24" monitor is minimum.. 22" is just too smal:/

i'm not a big fan of noctula fans;) the color .. blah

but i'll maybe change to your PSU, seems good:D

The EVGA NEX psu isn't that good. 

 

This Seasonic psu is better if you can fit it in your budget - http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-ssr650rm
