I need an experts advice on this build.

CPU - AMD FX-8350 Black Edition CPU 210$
MOTHERBOARD - ASUS AM3+ 970 PRO GAMING/AURA 150$
RAM - HyperX Fury DDR3 1866MHz 8GB Black 60$
VIDEO CARD - ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Strix Gaming 391$
POWER SUPPLY - Corsair CX750M, 750W PSU 112$
SSD - 120 gb Kingston SSD 0$
Cabinet - NZXT S340 Midi Tower Sort 102$
TOTAL 1025$
My plan was to try saving money on everything else than the video card and then maybe upgrade the processor later. But have i missed something or could i do something different for the better. Im open for suggestions. Fire away

it's good , but to fully enjoy the latest technology you gotta buy an intel platform not only there is ddr4 , but there is also pci e 3.0 that motherboard you bought supports only 2.0 and you can't fully enjoy your 1060
or wait for the next gen amd cpu's their probably gonna be cheaper like the rx is cheaper than nvidia

you won't need a 750W PSU
instead of an AMD build that, when upgrading, will require a new board and new ram
try a cheap skylake build with an i3 and maybe a Z170 board (incase you want to upgrade to an overclockable CPU, otherwise save and get a H170 board) + ddr4 ram
that way a 550W PSU will easily handle even a GTX1080

It is not good. That is not a good power supply, and FX is 4yrs old, on a dead socket. Where are you located, because those cannot be US prices.

Okay thanks for the reply. I will try looking for some intel tech instead, had not noticed the ddr4 and pci e 3.0. even though i watched a tons of guids

If you plan on upgrading the CPU later get an i3 6100. It can match and even exceed the 8350 in gaming and will give you an upgrade path without having to replace the motherboard and ram aswell. The PSU is unreliable and more than you need anyway, get a better quality 520 or 550w PSU.

I do want an overclockable CPU. i will look at the Skylake .

but on the same breath i would tell you that doesn't really matter , not only ddr4 is not a big leap from ddr3 , it's only like ddr2 that you have to use in pairs , frequency and oc wise they're not much different ; but pci express 3 has features which are beyond the ordinary gaming , you can achieve fps's of more than 60 but that doesn't really matter to the naked eye

i think the am3+ cpu's will be like the amd cards older than the new rx , i mean even though they are 4 years old technology still they might outperform an am4 for quite sometime , the same way an r9 fury or an asus arex can beat the new rx , you know ..

Do you have a good motherboard in mind with the i3 6100, and can it be overclocked ?

Yeah that is also why i picked that processor.

The i3 6100 is a locked cpu, but with a small number of boards I believe you can still use bclk overclocking, not sure which boards still support this. If you want to overclock get a Z170 board and when you upgrade get an unlocked K cpu and a good cpu cooler.

There is simply no reason to buy AMD FX as everyone else here has stated. This would be a far better purchase and is less money:
