Recently I asked for help on building a gaming computer and it went well (I think) and I got this build

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/GRbTLk

From @Dragoon2005 (thought I should credit the person)

My budget is going up to $850 from $750. I was wondering if there could be any good changes to the build? Feel free to drop down a new build that doesn't go over U.S. $850. Being Open Minded ;)

I would leave it be and put it towards your future rig.You have a decent build already. $100 wont make much difference but offset your build.

 

*edit 

Or not - see next reply, he obviously a did more in depth analysis then I did.  -_-

Here's what I got. I basically changed everything except for the peripherals. I went AMD only because with an i3 you will only get 2 cores and the minimum requirement for some games like far cry 4 is 4 cores, and the fx6350 will perform around the same as an i3 anyways.

Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 960 4GB Video Card  ($194.99 @ Newegg) 
Case: NZXT Source 210 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case  ($34.99 @ Directron) 
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM (64-bit)  ($89.88 @ OutletPC)
