My first build, built for gaming, recording, and rendering, wondering what experienced builders think:

AMD FX-8350 FX-Series 8-Core Black Edition Processor

 

Gigabyte (GA-970A-DS3P) ATX

 

Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3

 

Corsair CX750 Builder Series ATX 80 PLUS Bronze Certified Power Supply

 

WD Blue 1TB Desktop

 

Corsair Hydro Series High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler H60

 

EVGA GeForce GTX 950 2GB FTW GAMING

 

This build is about 700$ USD. I know the power suply is overkill but got a big one for future upgrading. I am also looking for seggestions on towers that are priced around or below 75$ USD

All segestions, tips, and advice is welcome !!!

Intel, no CX PSU, just get an air cooler for that price, buy an R9-380.

Intel Core i7-6700K | Corsair H105 | Asus Z170I PRO GAMING | G.Skill TridentZ Series 16GB | 950 PRO 512GB M.2

This is LIGHT YEARS better:

It has a better CPU, more reasonable cooler, an SSD and hard drive, better GPU, a case (you didnt include one), and a WAY better PSU

You know that guy that games on a MacBook? I'm that guy.
