Hello,as the title states i am thinking of building a new tower. Parts:
CASE:NZXT s340
CPU:AMD FX 6300
MOBO:MSI 970 gaming
GPU:MSI Radeon R9 380
RAM:4xG.Skill Ripjaws 8Gb DDR3 1333Mhz (i already own 2 so i am thinking of simply expanding it).
PSU: (really need a good suggestion on this one,but thinking something that can provide 750w or even more)
I really want some opinions on my build. Are the parts gonna work well together,is my gpu gonna be heavily bottlenecked by the cpu and do i need more something more powerful than these ripjaws? Oh and please give me some good suggestions about that psu. Note that i want to build something good but cheap (that is the main reason i chose fx6300 and a better gpu). Thanks in advance people!

Here's what I've got for you.
I've listed a Samsung 850 Evo, but feel free to go for the Trion 150 240GB at 63 Euros if you want to save a bit of cash.

I see. If you would recommend and AMD cpu which one would be it? (i already own a system running and intel core i5,but the thing is it is s1155 and i cant find a good mobo for it,plus i think it is kinda outdated and will not be able to handle the gpu i forementioned. I think it is the i5 2450p if i am not mistaken.)

and he's right to do so.
there's no AMD CPU that is worth buying right now.
the R9 380 is a power hungry last gen card, the Rx480 is more future proof while being more efficient
you can still use the NZXT case if you like the looks
but Chugalug has done a good job, for 677€ this is about the best you can get right now. Depending on the prices where you live you could swap the GPU with a GTX 1060.
