A newbie needs help purchasing a new computer

Hello everyone,

I've been following this community for quite a while and finally managed to register on this site.

:/ I am in need of someone who could help me with a pre-built system I would like to purchase. It would be great if you

could assist me there and tell me if the components are adequate for my purposes (gaming [LoL, Witcher 3, GTA5, Fifa] and rendering [audio production, video production]).

My budget is limited to 1,2k. I've been searching for quite a while now and found a PC that looks good on paper but probably requires an expert to tell the truth.

 

Price: 1169€

Processor: AMD FX-8320e

Mobo: Gigabyte 970 G1 Gaming (or MSI Krait Edition - which one is better?)

Graphic: Radeon R9 390 8GB

Sound: Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Z

RAM: 32GB DD3 1600

HDD: 480GB SSD

HDD2: 1TB HDD

OS: Windows 10 pro 64 bit

Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper T4

Power Supply: be quiet! 550W

300mbit WiFi Card

DVD burner (?) LG

Sharkoon DG7000

 

THank you very much :/

My first one stopped working after half a year because I screwed up ^^ I really don't mind paying a few bucks more to get it done correctly and to have a warranty :)  Can't afford to test around
