Hey guys! I'm back with another one of these stupid questions. I have been looking all over the places for a low budget gaming computer. I think I have finally found something. But first I want to ask some wise people about it.

Oh yeah, It's called the "Best Bang For Buck 2016 v3.1"

Alright, The specs go something like this:

Motherboard: Asus B85M-G
CPU: Intel Haswell Core i5-4460 3.2GHz
Memory: Crucial 8Gt (2x4Gb) 1600Mhz
GPU: Asus GTX 950 OC, 2Gb GDDR5.
SSD: PNY 240Gt
Optical Drive: DVD+/-RW
Case: Bitfenix Nova, Black

PSU: Seasonic 430W (I have a better one at my current computer which I will be installing on the computer, it's a Corsair VS550)
OS: Pre-Installed Windows 10 Home 64 bit Finnish (Windows installing media will be delivered on a memory stick)

(I will be adding a HDD to the package as they install it for free. Something like: Seagate 1TB Barracuda, 3.5", Sata3, 7200rpm, 64MB)

The cost is amazing  769.00  (Including 24% taxes) +  59.90  (HDD price)

Would be delivered in 1-4 workdays.

I've been hearing all kinds of bad things about the FX-8320 and I actually can't order from newegg and from most american retailers because I live in Finland. So the prices for me would be a lot higher. And it would be best if it all was from same place so I wouldn't need to pay multiple delivery costs.

That is an issue.

 

Though I recommend using PC Part Picker to choose your components, it'll help find the best prices (after you set your location in the top right)

Well, I could order all the parts from http://www.mindfactory.de Any idea if the customs will make me pay Finnish taxes for the things or make me pay customs since Germany and Finland are both in EU? I'm kinda afraid of that.

Ok, btw, drop the z170 board and hyper 212x, and get the cheapest board with the features you need. Use the money for an r9 380x, r9 290/x or r9 390 if possible.

What about a GTX 970? I tend to not buy AMD stuff anymore :P I have a little bit of more money to put in (Like 200-300€). But I intended to use that to get a proper monitor. As I have a Samsung TV....
