Budget is 800-900ish

Honestly I'd drop the 6600K + 212EVO and just get an AMD 8350 with the new stock wraith cooler, and drop to a 380X for your GPU. That's save quite a bit.

 

Also, try a 24inch monitor, that's kind of the sweet spot for 1080p in general,

I did post this before, and everyone was saying FM3+ isn't the way to go, and that it's an old and dead socket, that doesn't perform well. Did I just get trolled?

Why are you recommending such old hardware? If OP has the money he can get a MUCH better system.

Yes, you got trolled. FX series CPUs are just old and I don't see the benefit in build one, Unless you have a strict budget. Which in your case, you dont. One thing that'll change is the PSU. I would recommend anything from EVGA/Seasonic/XFX. Also you don't need to get seperate themmal paste. Some of it comes with the CPU coo

People are just waiting for AMD to release their new line of CPUs out in Q1 2017.

 

The FX series chips are actually amazing for budget systems. People are just salty I guess.

 

I know people that are using Phenom II's and they're just fine gaming.

Intel stock cooler is garbage. OP Saves about $90-100 bucks on just using the stock cooler with a slightly older CPU w/ a great stock cooler.

 

I'm just trying to lower the total price from his PCpartpicker link from 1K to his 800-900 budget...

I'm planning on getting the RX480, which should lower it to 900, I can go a little over budget if there is an advantage though

Did you even see what CPU he is getting? No you didn't. The new Skylake K processors do not come with a cooler. OP has chosen the Hyper 212 from Coolermaster which is a good CPU cooler.  We are not salty. OP has a budget of $800-$900, which means that he can afford a better system.

Overlooked the not having a stock fan part.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 It's like 6am here lol.

 

212 is a fantastic cooler yes.

Then I'd just stick with what you got with a slightly better power supply as mentioned previously. That would be your only downfall honestly.

 

But I guess that just leaves my only suggestion being the 24inch over the 21.5 inch monitor.
