Building gaming pc looking for recommendations

[Aza12]

The current computer I am using right now i have had for over 4 year now i think.(specs: cpu: fx 6300 gpu: gtx750 ti Ram:8gb)  It was good for it's time when i played low fps intensive games, but now i'm starting to get into for fps intensive games like overwatch, battlegrounds, and rust. The budget for the build is 1300 i would prefer to spend around 1150 to 1200. I don't need any Peripherals and i also live in the United States. My setup has a rgb theme but everything doesn't need to be rgb. Last thing that i think is important to mention is that i'm not going to be streaming but i might do some light recording nothing big.

Kept the 460X ATX Case in case that you liked it.

• Bad power supply. Too much wattage, not enough quality. Get something better.
• Overclocking CPU with a locked chipset motherboard? Waste of money. You can't overclock on a B250.
• Weak cooler.
• Way too much for Windows. Get it at Kinguin or reddit for a quarter the price.

My recommendation for about $1300 is as follows. If you can't afford that, then change the 1080 Ti to a 1080 and upgrade the CPU to a Ryzen 5 1600. Get RGB LED strips- these parts have a neutral, monochrome theme, so they'll work with that. This will perform admirably at 4k, but you can get the same FPS at 1080p for half the price.

you could fit a gtx 1080 (on sale) into this build if you get a cheaper case such as an s340.

1. Is a 1080Ti a good option when paired with a Ryzen 1400? I'd put a 1080 there instead and get a better Ryzen 1600 chip, or at least an i5 6600k and Z270 mobo

2. I know 520W is enough, but I'd still get a 600W gold PSU since it'll save you money over the long run.

3. I'd always go with a Western Digital hard drive rather than Seagate ****, they're much more reliable.

1. There will be a bottleneck at 1080p and even 1440p unless the game is really demanding, but my recommended resolution for a 1080 Ti is 4k, where bottlenecking will be minimal as the computer will be GPU-bound in almost every title. Also, it's a great placeholder chip, with 4 cores, 8 threads, decent overclockability, and IPC comparable to Haswell (even better with the fast 3200MHz memory). The most important feature as a placeholder is the fact that all of AMD's new CPUs are on their unified AM4 platform. His upgrade path goes all the way up to a Ryzen 7 1800x, which is a 6900k-class CPU. 
    
2. 80+ Gold is 3% more efficient than 80+ Bronze at most, so it'll take a while for returns to show. The quality of the power supply is more important than the efficiency rating or the wattage, and it's quite a bit more for an 80+ Gold supply of comparable quality- $20 more, last I checked, for a SeaSonic S12G 550W.
    
3. I don't think the difference is as pronounced as you think it is. I'd appreciate it if you could back up claims with evidence comparing the 1TB Barracuda and Caviar Blue models, so I can take them seriously. This comparison doesn't feature failure rates for Seagate Barracuda 1TB drives (or any Seagate 1TBs at all) but Seagate comes out a fair bit above WD overall, and loses to Toshiba, with HGST leading the pack.
