New build 4

[Drakomon322]

Hi, everyone. After a couple of weeks researching and asking a lot of people about the components of my future computer, I've come up with this build.

I plan to use this computer for gaming ( games such as GTA 5, Watch Dogs, Dota 2, Hearthstone, CS GO, Mortal Kombat X and others) and engineering ( I'm majoring in software engineering)

My budget is 800 $ USD top, so it would be nice to reduce the final price a little bit because I'm paying for all these components ( I've been saving money since January last year)

And this is my build:

Please, let me know if there is something wrong with my build, so that I can replace it. Also, keep in mind that I've already got a mouse, a keyboard, a headset, an optical drive, a monitor and  a Windows 10 license.

Im sure everyone would benefit if you used PC part picker  . Other then that I think you should add an SSD for such an awesome rig.

Squeezed in a SSD and R9 390 into your budget. Should be a lot better for gaming. You mentioned you're majoring in software engineering so I'd look to adding another 8GB of RAM in the future:

Here you go:
You can overclock that i5-6400 on that motherboard, just buy a good aftermarket CPU cooler after you get some money (no need to do it right away) and more RAM later on.
