Make sure that your PSU has enough power to supply your beefy hardware

ditch the 240gb ssd for a 120 or a 64gb one just for the os and use the extra money for something else

I would never buy a 2gb Graphics Card for that price. Spend a few extra bucks for a 4gb Crad!!! My friend recently bought a 2gb GTX 960 and can play games on medium settings which I can play on Ultra with my 4gb version!

I'd change everything on that build. You can definitely go Skylake with DDR4 RAM for a few more bucks. Drop the CPU to a i5 6400 and get the 4GB variant of the R9 380; 2GB isn't enough nowadays.

 

The SSD is crap, grab an A-data SP550 instead. I'd also get a WD Caviar Blue 1TB rather than Purple.

agreed, WD blue is very trust worthy, and a 6400 would let you go up to a i7 skylake in the future. 

 

grabbing a better, but small capacity SSD could give you a bit extra cash for the skylake, or just ditch it all together if need be, I'm still rocking a single 1 tb WD blue. SSDs are great, but not completely needed for a starter build like this.

 

also, what power supply? that's kinda important when you're going AMD GPU wise
