get a better psu. an evga nex or gs would be fine. Also, the athlon may slightly bottle neck your gpu but if you're not worried about a 5-10 fps decrease, you should be fine with the build. May i ask, what is your absolute max budget? I could get you a way better value for money parts list

Whats the computer's intended use? Everything looks solid, but whats your total budget as well for it?

I wanted to build a gaming pc that would be able to run newer games like bf1. I only intend to spend about $500, because I already have some of the parts.

Looks pretty good, I would suggest getting 8gb of ram instead of 16 and adding an ssd.

what parts do you have - does a monitor need to be included along with the os and keyboard/mice?

For that budget you can get a better machine, one sec.

 

nvm what parts do you have?

My monitor is pretty old it's and HP 2011x from a Pavillion. My Keyboard and mouse are from this computer as well, so I figured I would buy a Corsair Cm storm.

I have the motherboard, RAM, and case already, so I would just be buying the CPU, GPU, and peripherals.

Dont invest in a last-gen 960. Get an RX470 if you don't want to spend too much more or a GTX 1060 6GB if you can, 3GB if you can't.  A 3gb 1060 will crush that 960 for only $7 more
