Hey, thanks for the build.

What's the reason for this build over the other build?

Thanks for the recommendation mate.
 
MERGED QUESTION
Question from speedforcef1 : "Is this PC ready to be built?"





Looks good, maybe find a new or used SSD for cheap to through the OS and a couple games on for faster loads.
 
^ That's the sort of build Lutfij put together, but to keep to budget he had to drop to a R3 1200.

@ Speedforcef1: Your build is fine, but lacks an SSD, they're nice but not an essential part.
With current games finally starting to really use more than 4 cores I'd suggest you stick with the bigger R5 1600 and leave an SSD for a later upgrade rather than sacrificing CPU power in order to gain a little load/save time with the initial build.
Be aware, if you don't use an SSD now, you will have to reinstall Windows to the SSD when/if you upgrade in the future, AND reinstall ALL your HDD software once Windows has been installed on the SSD, otherwise the new SSD install won't know where the HDD software is!

If you can, opt for the B350 motherboard, they're usually better built and offer some nice, quick OC options while you won't be able to OC at all with an A350 MB.
