I'd change out that PSU. It isn't the best for medium-high end builds. Changed out the RAM for a slightly cheaper one because I'm unfamiliar with Adata's. You should have at least a 1TB HDD. Something like this should be better:

No need for skylake if you are are purely gaming, last gen CPU and you can get a 390X.

Also 250Gb ssd ain't gonna last long, windows alone can take up 50GB+

yeah perf mate. You'll probs add a hard drive soon though.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Looks great. I would consider getting a HDD to go with the SSD or maybe a 500gb/480gb SSD to replace it. 250gb will only last you a few months at absolute most. Otherwise all good. No need for a 390X if you are sticking to 1080p 60-144htz or 1440p 60htz. I would change out the PSU. Look at some of Seasonic's, Corsair's or EVGAs mid-high end units that sit around 600w. 

I'm here to help people and have fun. Feel free to chat!
