My budget is around $450 and i was wondering if you guys could build a PC up for me (My budget can go like $10 over if it has too).
this will br my first PC !
I plan on playing Games like
H1Z1,DayZ, CS:GO, GTA 5 from time to time, and other fun games that come out on the PC
(I won't be gaming too hard, i'll be on the Playstation 4 most of the time... and when i get bored i'll be hopping on the PC)
I also plan on editing using Vegas and Photoshop.

Any help will be appreciated 😀 :bounce:

If you want to stick with your selected parts, that's no problem. I'd look for a Gigabyte H110M-A or ASUS H110M-A Motherboard instead.
Your posted build have i3 6100 and a gtx 950 too so it won't make any real difference in gaming performance compared to the parts i posted above.You can go with your selected components.

For gaming, the i3 will beat the 6300, however you said you will be editing, something that could better use the 6 core 6300. Also you said you already have a PS4 and will mostly game on that. GPU is about 20 percent faster than a 950, if you need CUDA get a 960.
 


Well, a fair pont. But i3 6100 at base isn't far behind than fx 6300 when it comes to multi threading. Also the whole system is costing 500$ , GTX 950 can handle those listed games at med-high settings and better. It would make sense if you overclock the FX 6300, which will require a good after market heatsink that will come around in an extra 30$

Going with the skylake is much fair,at current moment. Also i3 6100 won't really create trouble in basic editing and so,so far.
