$850 Build, Help Please

            I have recently wanted to build a gaming pc. I went on to pcpartpicker.com and chose parts with good reviews and in my budget. I am not sure if i chose parts that would go well together, i need additional insight. I have not chosen parts before. Thanks in advance, cheers.

 

Budget: $850 USD

 

AIM:Gaming PC able to run all games at 60 fps on Med-High settings

 

Monitors: Not sure yet, probably going to buy a hd tv and use that.

 

Peripherals: I have an OS, the only thing i need to buy is a keyboard, i have a mouse, headphones, etc already.

 

Reason for Upgrade: Currently playing games on HP ENVY Sleekbook 4 PC, but it doesn't run games like Overwatch above 8~ fps rip.:/

 

Current Build:

Edit: I am also open to predesigned gaming PC builds that i need to assemble. Any good ones link below please.

Change PSU and SSD.

Never get CX series, specially for this kind of build, unless you want your PC componentes burned down.

Don't wear socks when you build it? I mean, maybe grab an OS somewhere, Reddit can often be a good place for this (r/softwareswap) to get Windows keys cheap. But just grab the part from whichever retailer is listed in the PCPP list and you're good to go.

Lol no problem. Also, don't forget to use the quote button (arrow going left at the bottom)!

This is the build I put together. The GPU, PSU and SSD in this build would all be significantly faster and/or better quality at the compromise of a slightly worse performing CPU. 

Thank you! What is your opinion on the build STRMfrmXMN put together? Better? Worse? Thanks

the third option: Do my build and just play your games using the Intel HD graphics for a month. Then when the GTX 1070 comes out buy that and put it in your machine and have a much faster GPU.

I feel like this is a good option. I am getting a part time job over the summer (I'm a upcoming junior in high school) so that should give me enough time to save up for some upgrades.

Case: Corsair Spec-01 RED case: This case is cheaper and doesn't come with a side-panel window. But I think that is okay

 

I have some concerns about the case. Cable management was reported to be difficult from the reviews i read. Any tips/alternative options?
