Good build for gaming ?

[MrLegendQC]

I'm planning to build a PC for Chrismas and I want to know if it's a good build 

My budget is 1250$ before taxes and shipping

100% for gaming

I'm going to overclock it

I live in Canada

You should get an i5 4690k build instead of that fx8350, as it'll be much better for gaming.

speed bump, same price, 4690K drops bombs on the 8350.

Please don't keep making threads like these until christmas.

But with that budget a 290 would be better.

This. I know from experience.

[Guest Kloaked]

If you can spare a few more bucks, I would do this instead, unless you just want an AMD CPU.
