You are going with old and obsolete technology for the price you are paying. Current AMD chips are atleast 5 yrs old and bites dust compared to Intel chips, not to mention the psu is junk. Refined your build for that budget. Current generation Kabylake build.

Rating your build: 2/10.

- old, obsolete, hot CPU
- crappy PSU
- AsRock board
- no aftermarket CPU cooler (which I really recommend for the CPU you've picked)
- overpriced

Hellfire's build looks pretty good though.
