I have an R7 370 2G ASUS Strix version, and since I have some cash I've decided to upgrade my pc. I have a budget of 1180 euros, and this is what I have so far:

- i7 6700k (315e)

- MSI Z170-A PRO (100e)

- 4x8GB HyperX Black DDR4 (125e)

- 480GB Kingston UV400 SSD (95e)

- 2TB Seagate HDD (60e)

- CM Hyper 212 Evo (35e)

- Asus VE247H (145e)

- MS Industrial Black Widow Case (~55e)

- ASUS Optical Drive (15e)

(+ 1TB HDD from my current pc, and the same PSU (Chieftec 600W, powers my current rig fine)

___

This lot totals ~945e, and I'm considering getting an RX 480 8GB version. Any tips to make this pc better for the money? The prices I got here are from retailers in Serbia (Gigatron and from Kupujemprodajem mainly), I can not buy from eBay, amazon, nothing like that. Any help would be appreciated.

Is it just for gaming or also media production?

Gaming and recording gameplay, editing the gameplay and rendering, etc.

I also look forward to getting into music production, 'cause that looks fun.

I'm at work right now, but I'll get to that when I get home. (Don't worry, I'm on break ;) )

Then I'd say it's okay, you could maybe get less expensive ram, but the parts are fine.

125e is the cheapest I could find a DDR4 32GB kit here, so it'll do. Why 32GB? Because I can.

Right, the exact model is Chieftec GPS-600A8 600W 80+ Smart Series, and It's pretty new, been in my pc for like 3 months now.
