Specs: 

Cpu: Amd FX 6300 6 core at 3.5ghz (will overclock when I have a better cooler)

Motherboard: MSI 970 gaming 

Gpu: Msi Geforce GTX 960 4gb

Psu: corsair rm550 80+ gold

Memory: 2x4 gb vengence 

Also, is it worth it to get an optical drive?

If you don't have anything at the moment that requires an optical don't bother.

 

Also if on a budget get 1x 8gb now and another later.

 

Also grab a 380 over the NVidia 960, its cheaper and better

I rarely use the optical drive, but occasionally do find it handy - just get a real cheap one.

 

I am not really an AMD guy, and not familiar enough with that CPU to know much, so Ill have to pass on commenting on this build.  There are plenty other AMD guys to help though. However, it would be more helpful if you listed your absolute budget and linked to your build in pcpartpicker.com so that people can alter recommendations easily.

 

good luck!

What exactly are you planning on doing with your PC? If you're trying to get a budget gaming system, I would honestly go for an i3-4170 or an i3-6100... Let me know what you're doing.

 

Switch the GTX 960 with an R9 380.

 

Get this PSU instead: EVGA SuperNOVA G2 550W 80+ Gold. It's cheaper and got a 10/10 from jonnyguru.com.

 

Let me know what you're going to do with the PC and I can make some changes for you.

 

As for the optical drive, it really just depends on whether you're actually going to use it or not. USBs and digital downloads are super popular compared to DVD stuff now.
