So, I think I have worked out what I want for my new build I can spend no more than $1,400 at the most. I am also buying from Mwave and MSY(isn't on PCPartPicker).

Dose it look ok?

Your case doesnt have a price. Change the PSU, get an RX 480, get an 850 evo, everything else is good

Why rx480 instead of a gtx1060

Rx480 - No aftermarket card, $420, 8gb. (Would of preferred 4gb which there is none)

Gtx1060 - $400, aftermarket cards available, 6gb.

 

Do you think the Thermaltake Toughpower 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply would be better?

1. The CM Hyper 212 EVO is a bit cheaper than the X but works just as well.

2. Instead of getting a separate Wi-Fi adapter, it might be better to get a motherboard with Wi-Fi built in (if you can find one you like)..

3. Check you HDD/SSD storage usage. You may find that a single 500Gig SSD is all you need rather than a 120G plus a 1TB HDD.

A sieve may not hold water, but it will hold another sieve.

i5-6600, 16Gigs, ITX Corsair 250D, R9 390, 120Gig M.2 boot, 500Gig SATA SSD, no HDD
