Ok maybe high end wasnt the best word choice
A part list for about 500$ would be best please. I was thinking of using the AMD FX-8320 for the CPU as well as the Sapphire Radeon R7 265 for the graphics card. If this is not the best possible options for my hardware please let me know what is and the other best possible parts list for my budget. Thanks for the help you guysAn AMD FX-8320 is too much. You could maybe do an FX- 6300 but even that would be tough.

You can't use "high-end" and "$550" in the same sentence.
Looking to build something with the Pentium G3258 Might be your best bet.

Ok cool ill go with that. Any other spots to save a few bucks. I would like to get the best graphics card for my money. Maybe I could save with the RAM? I was thinking of going with Kingston HyperX 8GB

You only need 4gb for now. You can upgrade later. The GPU is good enough but you might want to look at the r9 270 or even the r9 270x

He needs an after market CPU cooler. Add a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO into this build and it should be as good as it's gonna get for your budget
Thought the 3258 was being OC'ed with just the stock up to like 4Ghz, maybe even 4.3 I think I've read?
The case has 3xfans, I believe all 3 are 120mm, 2 with blue LED and 1 just reg.. which is why I chose this case over some of the others. It was down to 29.99 2 days ago :/ and I should have just popped then.
