That looks fine, although the case you've chosen does not have usb 3.0, but your mobo does.
Also you probably wont need the cpu cooler, you can just use stock cooling.


It's up to you to go with the intel or amd.

The intel build i shows you gives you the latest socket so you can upgrade to kabylake when it comes out if you want to, and you also get ddr4 ram.
Basically higher spec for longer.

Obviously going with amd now is cheaper... but you might feel that you lost out with their new architecture just around the corner...   Oh wait just kidding. AMD isn't cheaper anymore

I've got the intel build down to lower than your AMD one

(Also, by getting the price cheaper - we haven't actually lost out on any performance. if anything it's gone up with the better video card. Only the manufacturers are different. Just letting you know so u don't have to worry about it :P )

Ah I see why going with the i3 can be better... thanks for the list, I'll work off of that!
