what is your budget for this PC build, and where are you buying from (aka where do you live)?

im just going to tell you right now that buying a new GPU in the next few weeks is a bad idea because nvidia's pascal is due to come around computex (may-june), and you will get more bang for your buck if you wait (whether you decide to get a maxwell GPU for cheaper or a newer pascal GPU that will perform better).

also, these days even somewhat high end CPUs in AMD's line up are just not competitive compared to intel's offerings.

micro center has 30.00 off combo mb drops to 119.00.
power supply is a better unit.
spend money on intel cpu there better gaming cpu for the money. also the 1151 mb let you drop in newer intel cpu when they come out latter.
