Under your budget and should give you ample performance for most games.

Why get that case w/ psu,
Might not even fit his 380 let alone the 400w isnt safe enough cos quality will be pure shit

i havnt used rosewill in a fwe years.. guess their product went to shit.. used to be a good name.. guess not now; after looking into/research...

changed case/psu longest r9 380 ive found so far is 10.5" in length.. case has clearance of 12.6" for video cards..

I was looking into the processor and people are suggesting to go with an aftermarket cooler.

Also iso more options to choose from. I like the red theme this one has going if that would be a possibility to keep.

There is no reason to go for a older hasswell arcitecture anymore. It does not save much money and limits the possibility of upgreading in the future.

Stock cooling is enough as long as you dont overclock your prozessor.

I don't plan to over clock, however are there any high quality red motherboards out there that are around my range?

all from newegg except case,

mobo is black/red

450w seasonic psu is more than enough for ur 380/i5 6500 as u wont be overclocking.

for rams, feel free to change to this for looks
