seriously?? a GT 740???  bro, Im sorry to say but you're stupid (in a non offensive, friendly way), you can get fast 8gb of ram for $40, the processor is meh, the case is meh, the GPU is shit, and you dont need to buy a version of windows 10, just get a USB and download it off of microsofts website for free

Go with this guy's. This is a fairly future proof build that should be able to handle most of this year's games no problem.

Litterally nobody needs ram that is $18 per gig, even if its DD4-3200 its never that expensive

Ikr, $18 per gig of ram?!? but I think buying a copy of windows 10 for $100 is unneccessary, just download it off of microsofts website with a USB, and personally I would have gone with an AMD CPU (for budget) and got a gtx 970, otherwise I have no problem with the build you quoted

i5-4460 would still kill any FX cpu, and R9 390 is better than the GTX 970 in almost every situation.

Yea I know, but I still think I'd rather have a better, non-amd GPU for a relatively good AMD CPU, if I was on a pretty loose budget I'd do an Intel CPU any day over AMD

The R9 390 is a better card than the 970. There's no other way to say it. The 970 is not better than the 390.

that may be true on paper but its known AMD cards tend to underpreform in games since developers will optimize their games for Nvidia cards more, also Nvidia cards have lower power consuption, and benchmarks show it to get less hot, both the cards are relatively equal, but PERSONALLY I only go with Nvidia cards.
