i would get http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-m5a99xevor20 and i have heard some good things about it and the 970 has some heat problems and doesnt overclock that well.
and
fx8350
still around the same price but better performance/overclock ability and with enough case fans the heat will stay down to manageable levels while still oc'ing nice.
Often times when people have a budget it's because that budget is what they could save already. Saying to save more is silly, saving more is always an option.
I don't have a job, this is my final budget for a full year
The 8350 is 70$ more and the MOBO is more. That would bring me over budget. If you notice the link I sent doesn't have a gpu since I am getting that in a month
ok. switched mobo and added cpu cooler and it's only 10$ more. found a evga 750 watt for less and 1x8 is cheaper then 2x4. also swapped the case for a antec p70 which tek syndicate recently did a review on.

is it just me or is there no gpu or any display out in this build
or in the one above this post...?
//edit didn't really see any ones that I liked, so here's my suggestion.

No mail in rebate in my pcpp, btw. I'd prefer it if you could stretch to a R9 380 or GTX 960, but a 950 is not bad either.
Budget without GPU is 550ish so thats why Ive been doing that. I dont need a monitor.
oh, if you toss the hard drives and get one 250g 850 evo ssd then your total - gpu comes to $547.31 which is just below budget, and you can get a spinning rust later.

also if you want to take advantage of dual channel you can get another 8g stick of ram later for a total of 16 (what i did)
Don't go with that CPU, you'll have no upgrade path and half of those cores will be sat there doing nothing for the vast majority of the time, unable to make up for its lower single core perf. You'll be better off with a 4460 because it'll do better in applications that can't utilise more than four threads (a typical game) thanks to its better single core perf, and you have an upgrade path (up to heck, a 4790k).

This post made me laugh. At first dude comes in telling that he NEEDS WIN10 and Intel CPU. Then realises it's too expensive and then.. and then... and then.... I don't even know what I should say. :3
I still NEED windows 10. I gave up on intel BECAUSE the sale ended and the website that has the sale doesn't take prepaid visa so now its too expensive.
i was just thinking gaming + streaming with a 8core means half the cores can game and the other half can stream on 4 core locked games. with a 380, cpu cooler, psu, case, ect... he'd only need to replace mobo and cpu to upgrade which would be years down the road and probably 6th or 7th gen intel, since by the time hes ready to upgrade again z97 probably isnt going to be around anymore.
you could go something like http://pcpartpicker.com/p/CjtNrH but it'd put him 28 over budget and not a lot of room for expansion without replacing mobo, and idk about that mobo. + ddr4 is just so expensive =/
Must have windows 10 included! LOL dude your afraid that AMD CPUs are getting too old for you, yet your the only one here that still pays for their OS. (not including paying for it with the loss of our right to privacy and the eminent evolution of the next authoritarian regime)

You can still find really old chips, they don't just all disappear when they get outdated. and there's way more room for expansion from a similarly priced skylake/haswell intel.
Wow... Idk what to say that is one of the weirdest things I have heard anyone ever say.
Where do you actually need windows 10? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Like what's wrong with older versions of Windows or what about Linux? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I HATE windows 8 and at this point prefer 10 over 7. As for Linux, I WOULD if it supported all the games I play.
But you see ivan windows 7 is stil better than 10.
