Can someone give me some advise?

To be entirely honest with you, the advice you're given here is going to be mostly by teenagers who have built 0-1 computers in their life, and all their knowledge is based off of assumptions. Granted with PC specs FPS for certain games is usually assumption based. So the advice I'm going to give is to seek more advice outside of Badlion, i.e googling similar specs/etc. Read the reviews on the parts you're buying, start at page 1, and read every single last review. I like to know what I'm buying from SOMEONE who actually has purchased the same thing. When it comes to a processor the stock fan is designed to keep the CPU cool, it does a shitty job at it, but as long as you don't mind the insides of your PC melting and never being able to overclock it works. However I would strongly recommend getting a new CPU cooler as AMD is known to run hot. Lastly I'm skeptical towards the 500w PSU, and to personal preference I would go 750w+.

Ignore the Intel > AMD shit. I run an AMD FX 8320 and it gives me all the performance I could possibly need.

On that note, in no way am I professional at building PCs/etc. However, I wouldn't even consider your build.
Alright man, thanks for the info and I have looked into each and every part in the pc and have switched things in and out of the build. So from now on I won't ask questions like this on these forums because your probably right that half the ppl here are teenagers (like me) who are relitively nooby at building pc's (but I'm not that nooby, I've built a few pc's as i work at a pc shop) and know nothing apart from the specs they read of wikipedia (top info) and thanks for replying to my thread :D

Don't be scared to ask these kind of questions on the forums, everyone loves discussing this kind of stuff. You do get some decent input. I'm just simply saying when you're going to be spending a pretty chunk of change on a computer, that nothing said here should make your final decision.

Also would it make a difference if i swapped the 860k with an fx 6300?

Ok, I have sort've upped how much I am spending on the cpu so I can get a solid cpu that in the future can be paired with a better graphics card (gtx 960 probs) and here is the link to the pcpartpicker build that I would say is complete and ready for me to buy http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/kr2wZL .Also I have a huge gigabyte luxo m10 in white for the case and an EVGA 500w PSU. I have looked into many benchmarks for the CPU and GPU pairing on multiple games (minecraft, tf2, dayz, h1z1, bf4 and many more) and the specs have performed very very well indeed with a solid 200-300FPS minecraft whilst recording with fraps and 50-60 high setting on bf4, so this will be a good starter pc for me personally as I don't have a ton of money to chuck at a titan z and i7 with 16gb ram and 1tb ssd as I will be using this pc build for light editing and light-moderate gaming and the other stuff you do with a pc (school stuff). Also thanks for your very balanced feedback on my thread and I have considered every point you have made. When I get my pc I am hoping to start youtube and aiming for that youtube rank on this server :)
