Thanks <3

NOTE
This build was made completly by me and I used help from website's, MANY reviews too.

it seems good, except for 2 things:
1. Where is your case? you kinda need one...
2. switch that PSU for something better. its not the best unit in the world, and you can find better ones for the same price:

I have some cases in my household that I can use
And I've heard alot on many websites that For a gaming build 600+ is minimum?
I've seen reviews of 8350 and it's wattage increases when gaming to kinda a high number.
Thanks for replying

The motherboard is simply too expensive for a 600 dollar build. You can afford a complete Intel i5 build at 600 dollars, look at this build:

JTJ_Akram :

there isnt really a minimum for PC builds, and I think the the 600-700USD range is probably the best price to performance range, as you can get some pretty sweet hardware for the price...

You should be able to get away with something like that suggested to you if not and you want something of higher wattage and of a decent brand then i would advise referring to this list http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

For sure get another psu from a quality brand like evga, seasonic or xfx

RCFProd :

True,But I will also be streaming and playing games like battlefield too (Which utilises 8 cores) and Etc.
I've heard even from other review's that More cores = better for streaming and recording

RCFProd · Jul 12, 2015

To be fair to you that even though I agree with you I have no problems either streaming or recording with an i5-4690. You also get much better performance in games.

In general I agree that the FX-8320 is better for that intention but with an average GPU for games, I don't know man.

The cpu is good but old, the motherboard is pretty damn good for that price, but if i were you i would give newegg a call to install the latest bios drivers in the motherboard, i think they can do it for you, not sure.
The 280x is better than the gtx 960, the 280 and the 380, so i think you should get one.

If you want crossfire 280x later on, that psu cant handle it, you would have to upgrade it to a 750W good psu, but if you are not interested, that psu handles the current just fine

ASRock 970-UD3P or MSI 970 Gaming for 970 Chipset otherwise you get bad VRM phower phases.

So I wouldn't take the 970 Pro3. Not good VRM cooling.
