First Gaming PC

[BlakeWilson]

Hello!

I've bought pre-mades and laptops in the past, but this is the first time I've built a PC; I just wanted to get some outside opinions on what I'm putting into it.  This is what I have so far. 

 

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Z8YYZ8

 

1. Budget & Location:

$700~$800 USD

 

2. Aim:

Build a rig for light gaming. Overwatch, Dota, CS-GO, ect. at 60fps at high settings.  I don't play a lot of AAA titles, so I don't need anything super powerful, but I'd like to be able to crank the settings on pretty much any Indy-AA game within reason. I'd also like a bit of upgrade-ablity headroom to keep it relevant for ~2 years. 

 

3. Monitors:

Duel 1080p

 

4. Peripherals:

At least one monitor. 

 

5. Why are you upgrading?:

I've been gaming on a laptop for 5-6 years and I want more bang for my buck.

Wait for R3 or get a Pentium G4560, would perform better than FX 6300 and would give you an upgrade path instead of a dead platform.

This will be better...

the PSU is overpriced for the performance.. as @herman mcpootis points out, the SeaSonic - S12II 520W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply is a much better choice both price and performance wise.. 
also, this guy knows his stuff when configing a pc on a budget, just watch this video.

If you don't mind an extra suggestion, although all of this will fit into CASE-V00, CASE-V06 would offer better room and airflow for these components for not much more.
