Do you need an Operating System?  at this budget Windows would kill the parts...

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The OS is like a kind food, Try it before saying if you like it or don't.

As is, this build is going to serve you the best among the ones above by avoiding a weak CPU,  but it won't get near the performance of the 380 which is a little faster than a GTX 960.

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The pentium is still a good chip, i dont think a 860k would beat it.  Might be close.

A little harsh.

 

They are terrible PSUs. Sometimes you have to drill it into someone's head before they get it.
