Hello!

So I am about to build a tower for gaming and programming mostly. My budget is around 800$ (without the peripherals)

Could you give me a solid build?

Thanks in advance!

It has a nice overclockable processor that is great for gaming, and R9 380x that is perfect for 1080p gaming at ultra fr most games. 8gb of RAM, and a pretty color scheme.

But, the mobo is dirt cheap. Get something decent like the Pro4 at least. The anniversary mobos are basically B85/H81 chipset mobos with a Z97 chipset slapped onto them.
