So I am planning on building a pc in the summer of 2016. Would any of you recommend better parts. These are the parts that I currently have: (Note: I will mainly be playing racing games, indie games, and maybe one or two first-person shooters)

 

CPU: AMD FX-6300 Black Edition

GPU: EVGA GTX 960 2gb ssc edition

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P

RAM: Hyperx Fury 8gb kit (4gb x2)

PSU: EVGA 500W

Case: Corsair Carbide Spec-01

HDD: WD Blue 1TB

Optical Drive: Asus 24x

 

(All the computer parts will be bought from Amazon.com)

since from what you've said you'll be mostly gaming i would look into Intel CPU's instead (faster single-threaded performance, which games rather enjoy)

Something like an i3 4160/4170, or even an i5 4460 (depends on pricing), paired with an H97 board

Aftermarket 980Ti >= Fury X >= Reference 980Ti > Fury > 980 > 390X > 390 >= 970 380X > 380 >= 960 > 950 >= 370 > 750Ti = 360

"The Orange Box" || CPU: i5 4690k || RAM: Kingston Hyper X Fury 16GB || Case: Aerocool DS200 (Orange) || Cooler: Cryorig R1 Ultimate || Storage: Kingston SSDNow V300 240GB + WD Black 1TB || PSU: Corsair RM750 || Mobo: ASUS Z97-A || GPU: EVGA GTX 970 FTW+

"Unnamed Form Factor Switch" || CPU: i7 6700K || RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB || Case: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Mini ITX (White) || Cooler: Cryorig R1 Ultimate (Green Cover) || Storage: Samsung 850 Evo 1TB || PSU: XFX XTR 550W || Mobo: ASUS Z170I Pro Gaming || GPU: EVGA GTX 970 FTW+
