I know very little about building PCs and any help, advice, or replacement suggestions are welcome.

This is my first build and I'm looking at around $850 as a budget. I'm looking at gaming but I don't need anything fancy. No 4K textures and such. The games I will be playing most are Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, Skyrim, and GTA V.

Get an 8GB kit instead of 6. and since it's an AMD build I would go with a GPU from the R9 200 series.. My R9 270X with the FX6300 runs GTA V on very high settings, 1080p on 60fps (Vsync on) I don't care about anything above 60, but it's not dropping below so I'm good with it.
