Try get an i3, and a GTX 950. For PSU, just take any XFX, Seasonic, or EVGA G2/GS PSU. Case is your pick.

The case is a bit ugly and the PSU isn't going to power many future upgrades, but the small sacrifices get you a top-level i5 and a GTX960.

I speak the honest truth with a bit of snark mixed in. I'm sorry if it doesn't line up with your beliefs.

for such bugdet a future proof  gaming rig is kinda impossible (becasue GPU should be atleast 380x or 390 and CPU in my opinion some i7) so sorry but still Fire did a nice part selection that should give extra 2 years of nice usage on 1080 gaming (at least i think so :P).

CPU i5 6600k 4,4Ghz , COOLER Dark Rock 3 from BQ, RAM 16 GB of ddr 4 2800MHz from corsair,

 PSU EVGA 750 W GOLD G2, MOBO Msi z170A Gaming M3, CASE NZXT H440 Black/Blue,

GPU Geforce GTX 980 Gigabyte G1 Gaming,

STORAGE 1 SSD Samsung 850 Evo 250 GB and 1 HDD 500GB WD, Windows 8.1.

The R9 380 4GB is a better choice at this budget, around 6-15% faster in many games.

That is a valid point. I had thought that the 380 was a little bit more expensive than 960, and wouldn't quite fit with the i5-4590 within the budget. But I do see that there is a 380 for basically the same price as the 960 I picked.

 

@Venomized: You probably would be better off with an R9 380.

Yes, you will have to uninstall the Nvidia drivers.
