GTX 950 > R9 370.

If you are not upgrading your PC for a while and will play tons of AAA titles, get 860K + GTX 960 (you will not have to replace your power supply, you can run 960 on CX430, make sure the GPU only requires 6-pin).

It depends on your budget...your build isnt that bad, but if i were you i'd try to get an I5/FX8350 or a GTX960/R9380 (4gb), changing one of those will give you way more performance if you can afford it

I have no clue how you could fit i3-6100 in there but your build is better. Using only newegg, this is what I came up with (i3-6100 build would be $30-40 more expensive which is kinda worth it; if you go that route, do not forget that you need DDR4 for a DDR4 mobo):

Would it be better if I got an 860k instead of an i3, an EVGA 600w PSU and an r9 380? i can save up a little more and get that. or i could get an r7 370 with he i3 but idk if my PSU can handle it.
