amd A Budget AMD Build for Graphic Design/Gaming?

[Rig]

Hi, I'm a LinusTechTips youtube subscriber for some time now but I'm new to the forum. 

I'm planning to build a budget tower (mainly be used for graphic design) and I need opinion on these parts I've already picked out. 

 

CPU/APU: AMD Kaveri A10 7860K 3.6GHz

MOBO: ASUS A88XM-A FM2+

RAM: KINGSTON 8GB HYPER-X FURY 1866Mhz

HDD: WD Blue 500GB

GPU: Sapphire Dual-x R9 270x GDDR5 2GB 256Bit

PSU: (Not yet decided because I don't know if I'm just going to buy a generic casing with a generic PSU or not, but for now i'm thinking of a 450W PSU, don't mind it)

 

It's kind of a pseudo-gaming PC because I've read that if you build a gaming PC, then you won't have any problems with everything else...

thoughts?

1 If you going to get a dgpu, you should get the althon 880k. Its the same cpu as the apu, but with no igpu(you won't use it with a dgpu) and you save 30bucks with no difference.

 

2. Id probably get a intel i3 6100 if you can squeeze that in.

i agree, an 6100 will be better if u can get it, the multi threading is gud

checked it, the 6100 is a bit pricier, it's a good chip BUT availability is a factor here in my country (PH).

plus, i went with AMD for it's cheaper price tags. lol

Thanks for the reply. 

Never heard about the zen until now. Damn it, but new parts always comes late here in my country. So if it were to released in 2017, expect it like another 2-3 months before it hits the shelves here and I don't think I could wait for that long but i hope they would still use the same socket. lol

I just found out that the 6100 is available here. So here's my 2nd option build.

Costs about $455 total if converted from our money.

BUILD #2 

CPU: INTEL CORE i3 6100

MOBO: ASUS H110M-D D4

RAM: KINGSTON HYPER-X FURY 8GB DDR4

GPU: PALIT 750Ti STORMX 2GB GDDR5

STORAGE: WD BLUE 1TB

PSU: DEEPCOOL DE500

CASING: MEH
