Good PC Gaming Rig Help ($800)

[koedy]

I've posted to here before, back when i was trying to get myself into PC gaming and now that the money is there i'm going to need some help. I wont be able to order this till possibly **April**. With that, i have a few questions. 

 

Does this build need anything else?

 

Are there better parts for cheaper or that are better recommended? 

 

Will these parts be obsolete in 2-3 months? 

 

This PC will be used for gaming and school work, and i have a 250GB SSD already.

The build doesn't need anything else but a ssd is highly recommended for any modern system.

Yes, there are better alternatives.

 

I'd suggest planning later. ~2-3 days at most before you buy. Parts and prices change frequently so any parts list you come up with now will likely be obsolete by the time you're ready to buy.
