or should i go at least corsair vs450 ?

current psu quite old i guess.

Actually with 360W, gaming rig also will work la.

Many good setup don't even pull 250W from the wall.

It's not about the wattage, going lower end PSU as such is a matter of having lower quality components supplying the juice.

Hi guys. Got my rig last week and bought an XFX RX 480 RS XXX 8GB. It is sitting in the tecware alpha chassis. Running battlefield 1 got the gpu temp to go as high as 88 degree celcius. The fact that it's a new card, I'm starting to get worried about the card's lifespan in the long run. My friend said the thermal paste might be the culprit here. Should i be worried? What should i do?

To keep within your budget, you may do one of these (or more):
1. Downgrade the PSU
2. Downgrade the mobo
3. Get a 120GB SSD instead of 240GB
4. Downgrade to 8GB RAM

etc.

Let's say I don't want to have SSD in this built (or only getting 120GB for OS/Essentials), which part i can spend more to enhance the performance further?

If you play other games too, especially triple A titles then you are recommended to focus more on GPU (dump the SSD idea and go for GTX1060 6GB or RX480 8GB) first.

Good insight, but if it is played on a 60Hz monitor then it doesn't really matter since it is able to output 90+ FPS in average ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I see, I don't play WoW and I thought it is "quite" a lightweight game 

Sentinel92 Time for new thread soon.

If you plan to save cost, you can actually go for previous generation chipset like H110/B150 (there is no B270, it is B250).

And which Pioneer SSD model is that? I checked the specs, it doesn't seem to amaze me too much in terms of sequential 4K read/write, go for other model if you can.

Intel only supports 6 SATA 3 ports (from the PCH) even with the highest end Z270, it makes no difference to go for ATX mobo since you can also get 6 SATA ports on mATX (B150/B250, H110 is limited to 4) unless you purposely choose those mobo with custom onboard controller (which is usually found on those high end & expensive Z270 mobo only), it is not budget friendly at all in my opinion unless storage is the main requirement.

So do mATX, you still have spare slots for expansion card, unless you plan to install more expansion card than usual, then that's different story and purpose.

But I don't think this is one of the requirements though, it is not mentioned in the list.
