Would personally take a different PSU.

May i suggest this one? http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/2tckcf/xfx-power-supply-xfxts550w

No need for a CPU cooler as the CPU already comes with one and you can't OC. Get the 8 GB RX 480 instead of the 380. And get this for the PSU instead: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/2tckcf/xfx-power-supply-xfxts550w

Hey there Sander

 

My two cents on this:

since the CPU itself is locked for OCing and the motherboard don't really allow you to do that you could easily go with just the stock cooler as it should be able to do its job perfectly fine and save some funds on the aftermarket CPU cooler, unless of course you prefer to have even lower temps and more quiet system. 

 

For the memory I would rather go with a single 8GB stick and possibly add more down the road if needed. This option should be more friendly towards your budget and you are not likely to see any performance differences. 

 

I like the storage configuration

 

What's the purpose of this build? Any specific games or applications that you plan on running and any particular settings that you are after?

Hey there,

 

Okay, I think I get what you mean with the CPU... And oh okay, ill start off with a single 8gb stick.

The purpose of the build: Actually I'm still in school and just want to play games. I don't need like a full ATX build. Just something that is good for all the games and later on. I mostly play League of Legends but also a lot of differents games. Like GTA, sniper elite.. a lot of shooter games. Want also so get my school projects done also. Don't have a huge budget and also want something "small" for now for that later I just can buy the parts that I need and "up" the performance. SO for now, just something that runs league with no problem, and later on go higher. I need an extra slot also for an Elgato hd60 in my build for later on. Want to share my gaming experience. I don't know a lot about building my own computer.. but learned quite a bit on here, so have you any build in mind? like maybe 600-700$ ( CA ).

Unfortunately, as a Western Digital representative I can't really recommend any specific brand or products that are not our own. My suggestion is to go through other topics that have your budget and purposes and see what people build and what they discus. 

 

For the purposes that you describe your build should do the job perfectly fine.

 

If you have any other questions that I'm able to help with feel free to ask
