All i'd recommend is a faster ssd and better gpu. The ssd I linked is faster and cheaper than the kingston one you had. For gpu i'd recommend atleast a 950. it's about $150 but the extra like 30 is definitely worth it.

the ssd is slow and expensive. the trion 150 or sp550 is faster and cheaper. please dont get a cx psu. they use crap capacitors and have fairly poor build qualiy. 750 ti isnt worth it anymore, since its outdated and is outclassed by a 950, which is only $20 more.

ECO3 is probably the SSD to get at this point, it even has a cache onboard for only 60 bucks atm for the 240gb

Help Guys I am a first time builder. 

Building a budget gaming pc.

Is this built worth the price ?

Go team red, although I don't necessarily like they're products, they can offer better performance per dollar. 

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/tXTRpg (It's about $40 but it's worth it)

Ok Guys thank you for your help :)

R9 380 is just too costly for me. I am thinking for going for gtx 950 will it be ok ?

And about the storage which one should i go for ?

I am not that speed freak just need a reliable and cheap storage not necessarily an ssd. I don't need a huge storage even just like a 250 GB one is enough for me.

And Yes I Live in India where most parts are not easily available or just too costly.

I have a budget of 30k-35k INR [500$] but the r9 380 cost 22k INR [330$] which is a pretty bad deal in India. I just have to pay $120 extra for just buying in India 

The GTX 950 is INR 15k [220$] still paying extra.

The 750 ti is INR 10k [150$]

Pretty confused
