Hello, i am about to buy my first gaming pc after many years and i would realy like some suggestions about the system i have in mind. Any suggestions on any parts to lower the price or increase the performance are welcomed. My budget is up to 850$ as i mentioned in the title cause i'll need 100 $ more to ship the parts to Europe (has anyone did that before and with which site?)!

An i5-4670K would outperform the FX-8350. And also, why is everything you pay for on there money wasting?
With overclocking

There is a European version of the website you're using, if you're in the UK.
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/

It's closer than the US one though, and probably uses retailers close to you.
Plus I don't think some of the US retailers will ship to the EU.

Here's your build in the UK, equals about to $800 USD, and I changed the PSU. (XFX is made by Seasonic, and 550W should be more than enough.)
If you want a semi-modular PSU however, here is the other build.

Solution
Told you i have to do this system build over 5 years so i am not familiar with it yet 🙁 About the intel stuff over AMD i was thinkin about it also, but i decided that i will pick the best performance sum on the 850$ budget. As a system, which would work better with these stuff (based on gaming and performance over time), the AMD 8 core or the Intel one?

(For example i saw in Intel Build that the MSI Motherboard isn't that good, on the other hand Asus M5A99X is much better but its on the AMD build). Waiting back for feedback, I want to buy all the parts withing the next 24 hour!
