Hello, I am currently building my new PC.

It should have been around 800-850 $.

Do you have any improvement?

Is it worth buying MSI rx 480 or should I wait for a better one?

SSD or cooling? Not enough money for both.

Here is the build I have for you, includes 16GB of RAM and a 120GB SSD for your OS.
Feel free to upgrade the case to an S340 if you so desire, which is what I would do if I had the budget, but in terms of components I believe this to be the best build for your money.
Better quality power supply, good air cooler, another 8GB of RAM and an SSD for $20 less. :)

1- Change the memory into 2x4 GB for dual channel . you have 2 extra slots to upgrade memory later.

2-Get the GTX 1060 .. it is better than the RX 480 ... MSI Gaming X is a good card.

3- get corsaid RM 650x is better power supply

as for ssd or cooling I would pick SSD and air cooling ..

8GB of RAM is being phased out as the norm in most systems as 16GB becomes the standard. Best to upgrade sooner than later, as it will eventually be something you want to upgrade regardless.
The 1060 is indeed better than the RX480, but only by 5-10%, meaning the price is not entirely justified and does not offer that much performance for the hefty 25% price increase. This money is better invested in previously mentioned more RAM or an SSD which I have added to my build.

You are absolutely correct with cooling. AIO water coolers are not very cost effective if you are doing a mid range or budget build, as they give loud acoustics, and do not offer great temps, all while just adding another factor in water damage.
Coolers such as the Cryorig H7 give better performance for less cost, and are much more convenient to install without compromising on airflow.

The system he currently has overclocked will pull just over 400w or less at 100% load, which is an unrealistic scenario.
This means that adding a second RX480 will be no problem. Even if it was, the power supply I've listed can safely pull 575w roughly before ovp kicks in.
If OP upgrades it can also support a 1070, or single 1080 won't be much of an issue. :)
Chances are, if he's upgrading to anything more than a 1080 he'll want to get a better power supply anyway. :p

It looks good, but I would def. get a custom 480 card instead. Those AMD custom boards such as Red Devil and Nitro fully show the potential of the 480 gpu.

1. Is it worth buying I5 600 over I5 600k?

2. I wanted to buy gtx 1060 but 480 is cheaper and I would say last longer

3. In future I also want crossfire 480 (2x)

4. Case looks really nice, I take thermaltake.

This is my new pc like after 8 years

I currently have gtx 560 - so I expect a big jump forward

Thanks everyone for their opinions and help.

1.The i5 6600k is only a good idea if you want to overclock. At stock speeds the i5 6500 pretty much offers the same performance with lower thermals.

2. The GTX 1060 performs about 5-10% better than the RX480, but is priced at $280 starting for the desktop cards, making the RX480 more appealing at $235 for an 8GB model. Better for the value in my opinion to get the RX480.

3.The GTX 1060 is not SLI capable, so go for the RX 480.

4. What case are you planning on getting? There are better cases than Thermaltake for the money, as they tend to use cheap build materials.

I was wondering About previous NZXT but its more expensive. Also i like design from Bitfenix or Corsair. Can you offer me variant from those brands? Also for last message I would go for K version for more future proof.

It all comes down to preference/color. All of the case should work.

I suggest the NZXT S340.
Great value case with good airflow for a small case, and a sleek look.
Bitfenix tend to focus on budget cases, but they are mostly either steel or plastic, and are poor quality in terms of build materials and design.
Corsair has the SPEC-01 and SPEC-02 to cover the budget range, both are good cases.
Take a look! :)

Could I ask you for one more thing - CRYORIG H7 49.0 CFM CPU Cooler have like few shops ( pretty expensive) can you suggest me another one? I though hyper 212 evo is good - but too big. What do you say?

G.SKill RipjawsV 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 2666 are not avaible - can i take 3000 instead?

I am still deciding between Gtx 1060 vs RX 480 (I would be playing 1080 - no 4K) but I would really like extra VRAM, DX 12 card, card that will last longer.
So it is the RX 480 right choice? I heard something about drivers too.

In my country RX is little bit cheaper, but depends on version and brand

Can power supply run two cards ( future crossfire) ?
