Hi guys I'm planning to build my first PC and these are the components that I will use :

- GPU : Msi Radeon RX480 4GB ( because the 8 GB version is like 300 bucks here in Holland )
- CPU : FX-8350 ( maybe the Wraith edition )
- MOBO : Asrock 970A-G/3.1 / Asrock 970 Pro3 R2.0 ( not sure about that )
- SSD : Kingston Technology SSDNow UV400 - 120GB
- Case : Corsair Carbide 100R - Window Edition
- RAM : HyperX Fury - DDR3 1866Mhz CL10 Black - 8GB
- PSU : Not sure about that but i think this one : Cooler Master GM Series -550W
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Makes a total of around 750 euro without OS

I already did some research and these parts should be compatible ( MOBO with BIOS update ) and there should be no big bottlenecking between CPU and the CPU.
If you guys got any recommendations it would be really nice but if its possible I want to stick in the 750-ish range.

It will be a great build.. also if you are worrying about taxes or parts are more expensive in your country a cheaper H110M motherboard will do fine, as also an i5 6400.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Superpeanut : "Best mobo for fx 8350"





That asrock is not a good board, it uses weaker uncooled VRMs and with a cpu like the 8350 there is a good chance you will run into throttling issues under load?

Currently I would not build with an AMD cpu, they are not good in the price to performance ratio when you look at the whole build.

The i5 6500 is in Holland just over €200,the FX 8350 with wraith cooler just under €170,not that bad,but it will be a limitation in upgrades.The i5 6400 is about €175 and closer to it,probably also better for games.
Don't think the FX 8350 will do that bad with the RX 480.The ASRock 970A-G/3.1 seems to be a decent choice for the cpu.The cheapest i would use are these,
