Hello there so in recent times I've been saving up for a new gaming pc - ive got around $800 to spend on it and would appreciate any recommendations and suggestions anyone could give me.
Thanks for reading and have a good day
What country, Do you need a monitor?
US and ive already got a monitor
Probably this, you could sub out the 390 for a 380 4GB and get an i7 6700 if you want more CPU performance

thank you for the suggestion - appreciate it
Or you could go cheaper and upgrade the display, if you play esport games getting a 144hz display would be better than more performance most likely
OK, here is my issue with the above system: it's ugly...
Now what can we do?
MSI B150M Bazooka
Black board instead of brown, splash of white, that gives me build theme...
Now i need white RAM... Crucial Ballistix Sport LT
For storage, 1TB HDD and 120GB SSD... Sorry, 38$, get an SSD... And it fits the color scheme somewhat...
Next up - GPU...
If you can wait, i would rather advise you to wait until the end of May. Then both AMD and Nvidia are expected to show their new generation of products...
If you can't wait: R9 390 Sapphire Nitro...
With Thermaltake 600W PSU and Thermaltake case with HUGE window we have our thematic build for $827,70

Mow, you can equip yourself with a couple of those:

And you can get yourself a nice black and white build...
Now 2 things i need to say: 1) both new gen GPUs are right around the corner... 2) If this pushes you way over budget, with the fans you go almost $850, you may get the SSD later. It will save you 40$ as a start, but i would always recommend getting an SSD. It really helps imho...
