Yes, don't get the 8350. Location? I'm going to presume US. brb.

[Atmos]

swap the 960 for a 280X, its $15 more and performs a lot better.

 

Everything else is fine. Though, I'd suggest getting a I5-4440 and a cheap H8X mobo instead of the 8350, it's long life is slowely coming to an end.

[Cactu]

For 1080p this is good,

Also love the case

[Comessy]

Don't get a 4 year old processor

An i3 could destroy that processor

IKR!

Stop picking the 960 unless you really care about power consumption, physx, or slightly better drivers (which isn't even the case in windows 10). The 280/285 is a better alternative for cheaper that can also enable you to go Intel.

Refer to these gentlemen, disregard my comment. Although I still love that case

DUDE DONT GO WITH A 960. Use my build but slap an SSD or something on it. Also, high speed ram is overpriced and should not have a place in gaming builds

The graphics card should add up to a significant cost of your entire system. You should have at least a 970 with the i7 or step it down to a 4690k.
