That's a good build as well. I would recommend the 390 over the 970 though.

ASrock all the way because they got Sky OC which allows overclocking of locked Skylake chips.

And i would still prefer the oleg's build instead of yours xd but i would change the psu for EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold

You PC part picker and make sure you have the compatibility filters turned on and look towards the bottom of the page, it will say if there are any potential problems.

What is wrong with the current build, I'm asking because im curious as to what I did wrong when I changed it.

which build? yours or your friends?

 

[CrudeHumor]

Mine and my friends, he said I should have DirectX 12 or atleast 11, we changed it a bit from what Oleg posted

B2 is higher quality than any NEX.

The one you posted uses Z97 motherboard which is socket LGA1150 while i5-6500 is socket LGA1151 so they are not compatible.

Also, both R9 390 and GTX 970 can use DX12 in Windows 10 and both work with the latest DX11. I recommend R9 390 Nitro over the 970.

For the money that you give 700-800$ you dont go with that cpu..its a dead socket its a bad cpu for that badget...usually this cpu is for systems at around 500$..the i5 6500 is faaar better than fx,it supports ddr 4 and it is better overall,also the 390 is better than the 960,u can see reviews for that.
Your friend's build was fine,he just made a mistake and put the wrong mobo,also the case is up to you..

Thanks guys I really appreciate the help, Ill go with Olegs build and see how it turns out, I'm not great with figuring out which parts go with what, hopefully from experience I'll get better XD
