This is a year old, so yes, right now I could have done a lot better for 900 dollars. However, these are all pc parts from June-July 2015. Probably should have put that in there from the start.
take into consideration the new polaris architecture by AMD as that would probably better suit your budget and get tonnes of performance. The build isn't bad considering you have the $220. I would invest in a second display if you don't already have one as a two or even three monitor setup can come in handy lots.
Another option could be upgrading your keyboard however I have an obsession with mechanical keyboards and this is probably biased

if you're talking about amd's polaris for their graphics card the rx 480, I'm getting a 1070 later this summer that will greatly improve pc performance
i still dont get it why you have to drop $900 for that build
likeomg...?

900 dollars including the 270 dollar monitor, 120+ dollar peripheral total, etc. The actual pc build was more like 500. Plus, it was built about a year ago so the stuff in it isn't top of the line to date.
