Can we have a "rate my build" kind of thread? The site I'm using is pcpartpicker for anyone who doesn't know.

I'm doing my first build ever and I'm on a tight budget but I'm pleased with the individual parts and this should do about what I want it do (solid fps in most modern games).

... seriously?

Basically, everything about your build sucks. Poor CPU/Mobo choice (skylake > haswell), poor GPU choice, poor PSU choice, I'd rate it 3/10 because it actually would function.

With current price gouging on the RX 480 and 1060, I'd just get this:

PCPartPicker part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/yp3q4C
Price breakdown by merchant: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/yp3q4C/by_merchant/

CPU: Intel Core i5-6500 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($199.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B150M-DS3H Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($65.38 @ Newegg)
Memory: Crucial 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2133 Memory ($32.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: A-Data Premier SP550 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($54.99 @ NCIX US)
Video Card: XFX Radeon R9 390 8GB Double Dissipation Video Card ($244.99 @ Newegg)
Case: Fractal Design Core 2500 ATX Mid Tower Case ($39.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: EVGA 600B 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($45.98 @ Newegg)
Total: $684.31

If price gouging stops, drop to the EVGA 500B and get whichever of the new mid tier card is cheapest (RX 480 or GTX 1060).

This is all wrong. Let's start from the top: why would you buy a processor that is multiple generations old? I suggest getting an 4690k, and a decent cheap CPU cooler to pair with it. Second, don't skimp on the motherboard. Go z97, the h97 are value oriented and won't last you. I suggest 16 gigs 'o ram, trust me when I say that 8 is no longer enough for any serious user. 250gb SSD.... For what purpose? Buy yourself a nice 2-4tb HDD instead. It will last you far longer and you won't notice a lack of r/w speed unless you seriously need it. Okay, now for the kicker. Do not buy a gtx 960. It's a generation-old card now, and history shows us that nvidia cards do not age well. I suggest either the rx480 or the gtx1060. The 1060 is better for now, but the 480 will outperform the 1060 in a year's time. Case is fine, whatever suits your taste. I have never used that PSU, but I have had great experiences with EVGA psu's in the past so I recommend them. Anyways, cheers! Enjoy your PC, whatever you end up putting in it :)

You are also beyond dumb. Haswell is only last gen (broadwell doesn't count). Also, you complain about the date of the CPU then recommend the same generation CPU. Also, motherboard chipset are features, not longevity. You only need a Z chipset motherboard if you're going to overclock or do SLI. H chipset boards are fine for 90% of use cases.
