Nope. Very bad. AM3+ makes absolutely zero sense. Case and PSU aren't great. No SSD is pitiful.

i3 beats FX-6300. Plus you can easily upgrade to an i5/i7. If you specifically want an AMD CPU, wait for Zen. Don't get a reference RX 480, wait for aftermarket coolers. By the time we see aftermarket 480s, we should also have more information on the GTX 1060(s). Nice SSD and case, and a good quality PSU. Aidos>212 EVO.

im looking for atleast 4 cores on the cpu. The 480 in the list is just a place holder until the after market ones come out and im not to fussed about not having a SSD.

Doesn't matter, the FX-6300 is a PoS at this point, AM3+ makes absolutely no sense. If you want to spend some more money, get an i5, or get an i5 and a cheaper GPU, but then you're just sacrificing performance in games. The i3-6100 is perfectly fine, and will beat an FX-6300 in every situation.

Yeah, that's good, don't get reference GPU. By the time aftermarket 480s are on sale, we should have GTX 1060 benchmarks as well, so that'll be handy.

Doesn't matter, get one. You can afford one anyway. Literally everyone says they're not "bothered" or not "fussed" about an SSD, but at this point, even a £300 system deserves an SSD considering how inexpensive they've become and how much better/faster they are than a normal HDD.

I used to say I wasn't bothered about having an SSD, and my system would take longer than a minute to boot with my HDD, then I put an 850-EVO in my new system and it boots in less than 20 seconds every time, it's a god send. It's also very handy for big games, like GTA V and what not, they load significantly quicker on an SSD.

I was also one saying SSD's are pointless but even with my shitty V300, it boots way quicker than a normal HDD

well thanks for the advice. Ill probably get an i5 and a SSD now and ill still have to decide on the 480 or 1060.

I would wait until we see 1060 benchmarks, rumors are spreading that it will be announced on the 7th. Aftermarket 480s release on the 14th so it's worth waiting for.

By the time we see aftermarket RX 480s, we'll probably have more information on the performance and pricing for the GTX 1060 so you'll know whether you should just buy an aftermarket 480 or wait a little longer for a nice aftermarket 1060.
