you can start working around i5 6600 and r9 390 / gtx 970 and expand the fields of RAM, storage, etc from there

Possibly wait to see what Pascal/Polaris has to offer before going for a r9 390/gtx 970.

Games are highly variable. The cpu should have no trouble with most titles. The gpu will provide playable rates on 1080 for pretty much everything. Generally over 60 fps with some exceptions.

More cores does not equal a better gaming experience. Games, especially GTA V, prefer faster, more powerful individual cores and that FX 6300 will bottleneck the GTX 970. An i5 should be the minimum processor paired with a GTX 970.

 

The PSU is absolute garbage (quality-wise). It should never be used in a gaming rig.

Please stop suggesting seagate HDD's guys. Our RMA team's cupboard contains 95% Seagate and maybe 1 or 2 WD drives. Has been that way for years!

Seagate is basically the rolling joke of IT at the moment (in Australia anyway)

Can you provide any data on number of units installed vs failures and typical loads?

 

Are you suggesting that all Seagate drive models are unreliable? The 2TB ST2000DM001 is known for higher than normal problems. But I have not seen any data to support a claim that other drive models are problematic.

It may take me a while to get the data on that, all I currently have access to is that cupboard that stores RMA drives. We do see a huge number of 2TB Barracudas however there's no shortage of 1TB drives also. I do remember some co workers of mine found some data on seagate failure rates across the board, it also included the performance degradation over time. Seagate's performance degradation was much higher than average. Obviously with a lot of these studies the controls can be quite loose and the reporting sometimes bias. In my personal opinion, this was enough for me to stay away from seagate and stick to WD. I've never had a WD drive issue on my personal PC's. Also worth mentioning we see very little Toshiba drives however they represent (probably) about 10% of the drives we sell in machines, WD are much cheaper for us to buy.
