Not the FX-4300, they are better off to get an i3 and upgrade later.

For 600 pounds you can get an i5-4690k and a Z97 motherboard.

You can get a better cooler still later on for overclocking, but for now this is a badass system:

Replace the 850 Evo and PSU and this gets a thumbs up from me.

They are overpriced for such a tight budget. Technically it would even be possible to get a 4690k squeezed in there without sacrificing performance on a different part.

I tried to squeeze a R9 390 in there.     

[Guest]

An r9 390 is better for gaming, mine is better for CPU upgrading down the road (the 4th gen haswell's will be more expensive in a year or two due to less supply)

Why is everyone ignoring this? 

[GalacticRuler]

Why is everyone ignoring this? 

Because gaming builds at this price range should have 390s.

[TheRandomness]

Because gaming builds at this price range should have 390s.

380s are perfectly fine to push every setting to the max at 1080p plus the overclockable CPU would last a while.

[Senzelian]

380s are perfectly fine for push every setting to the max at 1080p plus the overclockable CPU would last a while.

And that is why I chose it.

Personally I would get rid of the PSU, case and SSD and pick the cheapest crap I could find to put a 6600K in there and a 390.

But OP chose a fully modular PSU and that case already, so I thought I might aswell give him that.
