Intel i5 6400k? There's no K version of the i5 6400.

@Hafluto123 OP, for your build:

1 ) Try to get a i5-6500 if possible or the i5-6400, it'll be better than the i3. If you can't the i3 will still be powerful enough for not CPU-Heavy games and a nice match for your RX470
2 ) Change that PSU, VS Series from Corsair are bad quality. Switch up for a CXM450W or CXM550W both will be great for it's price.
3 ) That mobo is DDR3 and your buying a DDR4 RAM, it won't work. Get this one instead: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/rLs8TW/msi-motherboard-h110mgaming
4 ) Try to get at least 16GB of RAM, it will be much better in long therm, games and programs nowadays tend to consume a big chunk of RAM, try to get these: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/4vWrxr/gskill-memory-f42400c15d16gvr

Your RX470 is plenty for 1080p gaming, although i'd suggest spending a little more on it and getting a RX480, it'll be more powerful in the future and there are some good deals on them right now, like this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137032&cm_re=rx480_4gb-_-14-137-032-_-Product

[Hafluto123]

Ok thanks for all the help you've given I really appreciate it.

Also I might be going core i5 6400 but i'm not sure

The i3 has only two cores, the i5 has four, so it's "basicaly" double it's power.
If you can get it, the 6400 would be a nice adition too!

If you, try to get these:

Select the 2400MHz with 2x8GB RAM

 

[Hafluto123]

Don't think I can get those but thanks anyway

 

[manddy123]

Don't worry,
With everything you got now it will work perfectly now and will provide headroom for any future upgrades.

Nice build friend 🙂
