My gaming PC

[EmailSupport]

Ok, so i'm going to post the entire list of components in the PC I MIGHT be getting with the feedback of you guys. Please be respectful of all opinions and I am not a professional at part picking but i've done it before and built my own computer so i'm not a complete idiot. Ok here we go.

CPU: AMD A10-6800K 4.1GHz Quad-Core Processor

GPU: EVGA GeForce 970 Super Clocked Edition

PSU: KENTEK 800 Watt 800W 120mm Fan ATX Power Supply 12V 2.3 EPS12V 2.92 SLI-ready PCI-Express SATA 20/24 PIN Intel AMD by KENTEK

Motherboard: MSI A88X-G45 GAMING ATX FM2+ Motherboard

RAM: A-Data XPG V1.0 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

Storage: 3 TB HDD WD Blue

Case: BitFenix Colossus Window (White) ATX Full Tower Case

Total price: $1000.52

Anything that is better for a cheaper price please list. If I can get any opinions on if this is a good build or not and if there's different parts that should be included or whats crap and what isn't etc. All CONSTRUCTIVE feedback is welcomed. This is my limit in price. $1000 so anything that is better but more expensive I can't really afford. At the absolute most I can only do an extra 50-100 bucks but that is it. I don't need to bankrupt myself just to game haha. But I do love gaming so it's an investment i'd like to put my efforts toward.

the processor is APU , which is useless . Also is weak and bottleneck GTX 970 . 550W PSU is enough. For gaming 8GB(2x4) will do

My advice is ditch the 6800k get either a amd fx 6300 or 8350 those would be a lot better plus the fx 6300 is even cheaper than the 6800k. the gpu is great I have a 770 and it plays everything on max settings so the 970 would be even better since it is the newer version. never heard of the psu I prefer to stick with seasonic or corsair psus plus 800 watts seem like overkill unless you plan to eventually add a second gpu. you would need a different motherboard also if you do switch to a 6300 or 8350. for the Hard drive why 3 tb? I have a 1tb and not even close to using the entire amount.

I came up with this is you decide to stick with amd but I feel at this price you're better off switching to intel like everyone else recommended
