Hi, im building a new 2015 pc for gaming and i have so far picked these parts:

I5-6500 229€
Radeon r9 380x ~290€?
Msi b150m mortar/bazooka (cant decide) <96€
Kingston 8gb 2133mhz ddr4 55€
Transcend ssd370s 32gb (for OS) 34€
Seagate 1 tb 64mb 7200rpm HDD 55€
Cooler master n200 45€
Xfx core edition 550w/fractal design integra m 550w/cooler master gm series 550w - these are all aroun 75€

So first question, does anything bottleneck? Second, is that ssd enough? Third, should i choose some other gpu/cpu? fourth, Is that psu enough?

I really want new components tgat is why 2015 cpu and gpu so i dont need to upgrade for a while. But im also on a 900€ budget so... I also dont know if those psu's can power my gpu??? Which one do you guys think fits me best? About the graphics cards... i live in finland, so gtx 960 and r9 380 are priced at about 220€, 4gb versions are around 260. 280x is 330€ and 290/390/gtx 970 are 360€. So that 380x might just be the card im looking for if it even gets released :D

Thank you for the answers in advance. And sorry for my possible bad english :s

yes if you get any modular PSU at 550W it will have the pins required for you, Corsair only dose a handful of good PSU's and the ones that are cheap are not worth buying at all, look at the brand XFX these are usually fairly cheap and very good quality, well the B150 Motherboard don't support DDR4 and are slower at transferring data across the board, where as the H170 dose support the faster DDR4 and its transfer rates are really good.

You're very welcome :)

no single card will bottleneck on the i5-6500, 32gb is enough for pretty much any OS so it should be fine, as far as GPU's go I think that's a good choice if you can spend a little more I would say go for the GTX 970 but if not its a good GPU. and yes the PSU is enough to handle this system. and yes the PSU can power your GPU with no problem, what do you intend to do on your computer then I can advice on what GPU to get :)

Just gaming, nothing more really that needs more power than gaming. I could possibly find gtx 970 that is used that fits my budget but im kinda "afraid" of the 3.5gb vram scandal or something?? And which one of these psu's would you recommend. How about the motherboard are they good enough or should i take something else on that price range. Is this system also futureproof?? I mean like even tho i5-6500 is new, can it run new games? What about the gpu or ram?

if its just general gaming on 1080p then the GTX 970 is the ideal card, as far as the 3.5gb thing goes there is no need to worry about that anyone it was the initial shock of it happening that caused people to freak out, the GTX 970 is an amazing card and is known for being perfect at 1080p and plays pretty much every game on ultra at 60+ fps. for PSU's you can get anything from the brand XFX or I personally like the EVGA 550w G2 PSU this is a top of the range PSU at a fair price. as you're getting a skylake processor I would say its best to get a H170 motherboard to go with this to get the full benefit from it. Also yes for upcoming games this computer will be future proof for as long as the eye can see but we can never tell for how long it will last I could predict it should last 5 years, but you never know if technology will make a massive jump in that time I would take a guess of at least 3 years though.

Yeah, i just have to find a used one then :p from the PSU, do they have the gpu pins that i need? And here in finland everything is pretty much priced like their actual performance... Evga is like superexpensive and only corsair/chieftec are cheap, as you also see 290 and 280x are fairly high price :D what do you mean by getting most out of my cpu? What do they differ from each other. I mean b150 and h170 and i can only get a really cheap h170 :s

thanks for the advices btw, very much appreciated!
