Edit: Umm what is this for?

 

NZ pcpartpicker happens to only have 4 New Zealand stores in its pricing and tends to be quite bad

 

Also this is to be used for gaming (at medium settings)

@You Scrub....The Floor So I parted it out on PCPartPicker for ease of use.

 

This list is with the parts you listed the only difference is your monitor. It came nicely under $1000.

With some of the parts you listed on your post being cheaper then here it would be less.

The only problem is your CPU, the AMD FX series is an aging line of CPU's you would get more performance from a Haswell i3.

This is an example i3 computer for around $1000 with all the same stuff, other then CPU and MOBO.

This would get you a bit more performance than a FX 8350 in games.

but at least  a Skylake   a SSd would be a good later upgrade or better why didn't ya get one right away?

To Topic:  would take the i3 power consumption is not really a major point here.

 

only thing which should be mentioned is that a 120gb SSd is really small. If your connection is good it'S not an issue, but with a connection with slower speed I would take the Fx and spent the extra Bucks more for an 240/256 gb  SSD like the
