Budget PC build (sort of)

[ICriEverytiem]

A mediocre gaming rig for games such as LoL, H1Z1, Skyrim and hopefully many other games.

Recommendations and suggestions are welcome.

PS. I don't really want to make it any more expensive but somewhere around a $100+ increase is fine.

What's the total budget? and the CX430 is not recommended for a build of this quality.

[Paytend01]

Instead of a 960, get a 290?

Costs less and more performance.

Or if you can afford that, it costs not much more and performs insanely well.

Take out that 960 and get a 380 4Gb. 

Then just get a better PSU and you're good.

Is there any difference in getting a R9 besides a GTX? I'm not informed at all about AMD graphic cards. I will get a better PSU now that it's mentioned.

Pretty much goes like this as far as what you should get for your budget, starting at highest and going to lowest-

1. 980ti
2. 980
3. 390x
4. 390
5. 380 / 960 (same price, pretty much same performance)
6. 950

The R9 GPU's are good but they're old, they can get very hot as well. I personally prefer NVIDIA because of the awesome driver support and features like NVIDIA Game Stream, and Shadowplay.
