I'm guessing that your budget is around $600US, so I'll work from that. The video card is no longer that good for the money, I would recommend a RX480 or a GTX1060. There are no 1060s available right now on PCpartspicker. I'm not sure why you would want a CD drive, unless you have a lot of physical media. I would also recommend switching the HDD with an SSD, unless you need the extra space.

The mobo I had there included a nice mouse so I went for it because of that haha. I do need the space and I really dont mind the load times. The gpu suddenly went up 50$ o.O so if the price goes down back to 149$ do you think it would be worth it? and lastly the case, do you think its enough space? I plan on upgrading it in the future. Thanks for the reply!

While the mobo that you chose has some advantages over the one I chose, I don't think that the mouse makes it worth it, since you can get the CS Storm Devastator pack for the the difference in price. It has a keyboard and a mouse. However, if you already have a nice keyboard, then go for the MSI mobo.

If you can get the GPU for around $150, then do so. It would be great for the price. However, if you can get a 480 for the same price, then the 480 is a much better choice. It really comes down to what is on sale when you decide to buy.

If you're going to use a 3.5in drive, then the case is too small for you. Some other options would be the Bitfenix Neos, the Cooler Master Elite 430, The Deepcool Tesseract, or, if you have some extra money, the Corsair 200R/Spec-02.

Hope this helps!

Ohh didnt know about that bundle, thanks for letting me know so I'll go with the H110. I'll do some monitoring on the GPU prices and if I see the 480 for not much difference I'll take it. I was going with the tesseract sw since the beginning so I'll stay with it. You certainly helped me a lot haha big thanks! @paincow

I have two questions for you:

 

1. Where do you live?

2. What is your budget?

 

Jusging by your PCPartPicker link I am guessing your budget is $600. For that Budget I suggest buying some PC parts used since you will be able to achieve significantly better price/performance this way.

I live in Central America, Honduras

 

The max is 600. If you can, spend less lol
