I didn't leave much room for an OS in the budget though. If that's needed in that budget, change the motherboard down to an H97 and you should have enough to buy a copy of Windows. Let me know if this works, or if you have questions for me about it. Remember that this is a starting point, not a definitive system build.

Why spend more on a cpu than gpu on a gaming build and z97 isnt needed as its not k cpu

To allow easy upgrading in the future. I find it helpful to spend a little extra on stuff like the cpu and motherboard because they will be in the system longer than anything else.

This has an r7 370, it just pushed this particular build over 640. That's easy enough to correct though.

This is now an AMD build, with an FX-6300 OC ready chip and an r9 380. I personally feel the AMD chips are a lot weaker than the intel chips, but that's just my preference.
