The so cheap it's for the vine build

I already own the following:

 

cpu cooler: deepcool captain 120

gpu: rx480

monitor: hp 22cw

keyboard and mouse: 6 year old junk that works

 

This is my attempt at building a PC for under 230$. At this point in time bottle necks are the least of my worries, I just want something. I plan on wall mounting or making a stand so I drew up some specs as well, let me know what you think and if I could go cheaper somewhere.

As for the PCI slots I've got an old case that is nothing but frame, I could cut out the slots them selfs and mount it to the wood. When I get there I get there.

 

I will also be picking this up since the price and what it delivers is to good to pass up.

That psu is utterly terrible and might catch on fire, and the 860k will bottleneck the Rx 480, an i3 6100 is a better choice, as well as 8gb of ram is a minimum for games now of days.

 

EDIT: if you are insistent on getting an fm2+ system get a a88x motherboard as it will have the best overclocking ability.

I'd get a 1tb hard drive instead of the ssd

I am only playing league of legends so fast boot means if I crash or something I don't have to wait :> and why would I ever go back to a HD the speed is horrendous.

My budget is 230$ can't go higher (480 was a gift an upgrade path.)

Go XFX or Seasonic.

Will go with the corsair that is in that price range.

 

I if this is the cheapest I can get my hands on for now then I'm fine instead of waiting 5 more months without anything.
