Hey guys!

I just got my first job, and am working towards my first PC build very quickly. What I want from it is a general computer that I can do school work on, as well as moderately game, I'd like to play titles such as GTAV, Minecraft (with shaders), CS:GO, and TF2 with it. Something between 40-60 FPS in all of them. I also would like to be able to record in minecraft, and have good render times in Blender, Cinema4D, and Adobe After Effects. I'm also going to need to be able to run 3-4 24" 1080p monitors (I'd sacrifice my fourth one if needed).

So pretty much your all around workhouse gaming/casual computer.

Here is what I have put together so far: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/t932K8 I'd like to keep it around $500, the cheaper the better. (I'm going to be reusing a 256GB Samsung Evo SSD I have, so no need to add that in).

Tell me what you think of it, and anything you'd recommend I change. Thank you all so much!

Do not get the Cx750m it is very low quality, I'd recommend a seasonic S12ii or evga b2
You only need 500w+ psu
Fx 6300 is good if you can overclock it, if not you will want it get an Intel i3
I'd recommend he Cryorig h7 cooler as well, performs amazing
