This is a great 1080p high setting gaming machine on AAA titles.

The r9 285 is one of the best for the money atm and will 1080p gaming very good.
Also the 860k is an amazing budget CPU.

This PSU will allow you to upgrade to something like the ultimate gaming (only) rig like a 4690k and 980ti. Or just to something on the LGA1150 socket and not FM2+.

What I would get. For under $100, you can't go wrong with a 750 Ti, people say it's bad, but from first hand experience I can tell you the opposite.

Yeah the 750ti is very good... OP not sure why the r9 285 I had picked skyrocketed in price. Just throw in the MSI 2gb 960 it will do even better but the r9 285 was better for the price at the time. OP go for Skittles build for more Upgrade options in the future

The 750Ti is not a great card, the 260x out-performs it. The 750Ti is not a bad card per se, but it is out-performed by the 260x, which is the same price, and a better choice. The GTX 960 is a poor buy, it performs almost on par with the cheaper, GTX 950 for closer to 380 price. Either spend extra and get a 285/380, or save $ and get a 950.

A little over budget. XFire support so you can easily add a 2nd 380 at any point. If you can't manage to spend that much, save $10 and get this PSU instead;

Add an SSD and a half decent cooler when you can, and you'll be sorted.

Whether OP goes with a 750 Ti or 260x, I wouldn't like an AMD chip *not saying they're bad* as 1150 still has plenty of upgrade choices.

I would trust someone who uploads PC gaming video's & made a video about a set up to buy. FrankiePC & a couple others have made video's. Not only do they have the best of the best for gaming but happen to find a few good deals.

Long story short, most people here are sick of the same questions.

To be honest some of the YouTube gamers know jackshit about PC building, they may have amazing rigs but a lot of them are sponsored pre-builts that they got for free.

A few posts asking questions about the gear will get better responses than this
