£600 Gaming PC

Hi Internet!

Here is my £600 (ish) gaming pc:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

CPU: AMD A10-6800K 4.1GHz Quad-Core Processor (£100.00 @ Amazon UK)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler (£25.95 @ Amazon UK)
Motherboard: MSI A88X-G45 GAMING ATX FM2+ Motherboard (£95.00)
Memory: Kingston Beast 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (£53.00 @ Amazon UK)
Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 280X 3GB Video Card (£229.96 @ Amazon UK)
Case: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case (£45.90 @ Amazon UK)
Power Supply: Corsair CX 500W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply (£45.98 @ Amazon UK)
Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer (£11.79 @ Amazon UK)
Total: £607.58

The GPU and the APU will be OCed. No HDDs or SSDs are needed nor is an OS. Please let me no what you think or If I could do better for £600.

Note: When all ordered off amazon it will come to £606 not £607. Also If the Build is going to be change to improve the overall PC the Mobo has to stay the same.

Thanks you your input and help in advance

I changed the motherboard and cpu and the PSU. This CPU has much better ocing capabilities. Other than that the build looks good.

I Said the Mobo had to stay the same, so is there any way of improving it but still keeping the mobo the same?

Is there a reason why you want that specific motherboard?

Because this build is for a friend and he said he wanted the GPU and the mobo and the rest I could choose for him so I then came he to see if it was all okay or if I could get better value. The mobo had to be a MSI gaming one and as AMD have cheaper CPUs/APUs compared with Intel, I went with the better MSI gaming mobo for AMD processors ( MSI
A88X-G45 GAMING)

Why would the PSU need to be changed? (I don't know what difference it would make)

The Corsair CX 500W isn't too bad if you're looking for a cheap PSU that'll do the job.
