Hi there,

What about the case? You've got one? If so then my suggestion is that:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

So what have been changed?

1) You dont need such motherboard for FX6300, 970 chipset would be also ok for OC.
2) Good aftermarket cooler for OC your CPU
3) A lot better GPU (that would be not entry but good mid-ranged gaming rig)
4) Better PSU, CX-series of Corsair not the best.
5) I changed HDD to 1TB, but that is because I always include that HDD to my builds. You can take that 3TB you wanted, that would be OK.

Have a nice day mate

You have a strong budget so go for a strong build. I have put a 750 watt PSu so than you can go for SLI in future.
