If that's your future build I'd reconsider

That CPU is outperformed by modern Pentiums

Overall you're spending too much on a large ssd, case fans and in comparison too much on the GPU but not enough on the CPU

The PSU is not the best but would handle this parts if it's still in good condition.
If you're buying it new, there would be better alternatives.

I'm getting my GPU from my brother who's had it a couple months but now he's getting a nvidia gtx1070, and my psu is from my old build same with my fans and cpu cooler, would you recommend any processor which wouldn't bottleneck as much?

Some observations and questions:

  • ■What case? Knowing will help us know thermals better and if the extra fans are required..[/*]
    ■How old is your CX600? if it has hit the 3 year (warranty) mark for the Builder series, I STRONGLY suggest replacing it. If you've ran them near max they tend to fail at the end of the warranty.[/*]
    ■512GB of SSD storage is nice, but will fill up fast with games. Consider adding a HDD to the build[/*]
    ■ Why FX over Ryzen? Ryzen performs much better.[/*]
    ■The fans listed are a guess/place holder for the ones you refer to. We can guess power draw only without specific model[/*]

[EDIT} Dropped suggested build list updated parts list to UK version.

my PSU is just over 4 months old now. and the case i was gonna put it all in was mainly gonna be the
Aerocool 5100 Windowed Mid Tower Black ATX PC Gaming Case with USB 3.0. mainly because of the price and the size.
i think i'll change to 240gb ssd mainly because of price. that way ill be able to put my operating system on their aswell as a couple games, also i was going to have a 2tb sea gate hardrive but i forgot to put it down.
If i get the AMD Ryzen 5 1600X, what good mobo's are compatible with it?
also my PSU and graphics card i already have so thats not as much.

UPDATE: i found this motherboard that would suit this proccesor well apparently, whats your thoughts on it:
Asus Prime AM4 X370-Pro
