Go researching, Google is your friend. Use PCpickerlist (google it, it's you friend) to choose CPU, GPU, ect. and post it here back.

Do you want Editing for Youtube videos, rendering or only gaming?

Do you want SSD,

Do you want AMD CPU or Intel?

Valuta?

How is this?

 

It's not as good as the build I suggested and has no upgrade path meaning if you want to upgrade in the future you'll need to go out and buy almost all new hardware.

FX CPU's are weak compared to an i5. GTX 760 is also not a card that you should buy at this point in time.

Squeezing that 970 was hard l0l. I hope you can afford $820~ after rebates. If not I'll make another build

Your build has a Z97 motherboard with a locked processor btw.
