How is this for a first pc build?

Not bad. Maybe throw a cooler in there to reduce temps and noise? Would give you room to overclock depending on the cooler as well.

And if it's in your budget, an SSD is totally worth it.

One small tweak

Looks solid!

Although I would suggest getting an SSD, far faster, and you can always a HDD later

Everything is good but you can get a better monitor for just a bit more money... Also make sure to get a SSD too...

Would about 240GB be enough?

I dont have the extra money

But I prefer 1080P, because I will get better FPS with the R9 390x

Looks good to me, although you might want an SSD. I usually recommend using Intel Smart Response (Using an SSD as a cache, more about that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgYPk2j5PNM 

 

 

If you do this, get an M.2 SSD (port on the motherboard) that's between 32 and 64GB. 

 

Another thing, remember that a copy of Windows is not included with any of the parts. You'll need to buy one online (like a disc) or a key from somewhere online (reddit, etc)

Because im not sure i could afford a 500GB+ SSD

240GB would be just fine, especially if you intend to add a larger HDD for mass storage and games and such later

Great, thanks.

What version of windows should I get?

[Mohenjo]

What version of windows should I get?

10 master race bruh 64 bit.

Depends on your choice. 8 (64bit) is super cheap right now. I like 8 better than 10

Okay, thanks

As everyone's been saying, an SSD would be optimal. I'd keep the HDD for mass storage (although I'd get a Seagate, they're equally reliable and a bit cheaper), and get a small, maybe 120-250 GB SSD configured as the boot drive for the operating system and some frequently accessed applications. This way you keep good boot speeds and startup times, but still have the added benefit of inexpensive storage. Crucial's MX100 SSDs are legendarily good "bang for the buck."

 

Also, (again nothing really that new here) if you save up a little more money you may want to consider getting a decent CPU cooler so you can overclock it some. After all, you are getting a "K" series processor, made specifically for overclocking.
