Not an FX 8350, please. If you want AMD, wait a month for their new CPU's. The FX line is outdated to say the least and shouldn't be considered when buying at that price. 

Personal build >  New-ish AMD main gaming setup           

   PLEASE QUOTE OR @ ME FOR A RESPONSE xD

Don't get FX

Toshiba is not really reliable

See if you can get S12II or CXM PSU instead

Liquic cooler on budget is not right

See if you can fit RX 470

What about a WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB HDD?

And for the RX 470 2gb or 4gb.

Also the liquid Cooling is only for the cpu

WD blue will be better

Any tbh, still an improvement over 1050ti. Get whatever fits your budget

CPU already has a cooler and no don't get that CPU

Please do not get an AMD FX Series CPU. They are going to become obsolete as soon as Ryzen is released and it has horrible single core performance.

Don't get anything until Ryzen comes out. You could potentially save yourself quite a bit of money for the same performance.

It doesn't have to only support KabyLake, but it has to have the right BIOS already installed. Something you should probably mention.

Not all do. I checked 14 shops in Vancouver, none of them do it.

You're assuming he lives somewhere that has a shop that does. That's just plain asinine.

The fact you didn't even mention it can give someone a massive completely avoidable headache.

Why 16gbram ? 8gb ram is plenty for gaming right?

@deXxterlab97 you guys have computer stores or distributors that do bios flashing? apparently our local distros could do that so...
