$400-$500 gaming computer

[Jenetic]

Any suggestions for a decent gamin computer set up for $400-500?

Don't need storage, a power source, monitor, keyboard or mouse.

you don't need a power supply?

I'm taking another computer apart that has a 650 W source.

what model is that PSU on the other PC. a cheap PSU will almost ALWAYS kill your entire build.

Not sure the brand name. Just know it's 650 W. I don't mind getting a psu if it stays within my range.

This is what I have come up with, but I, not sure if the case with the psu is a good idea?
