800-900 gaming PC build

[MMM_900]

I need a budget gaming PC (i prefer an nvidia GPU)which can play far cry 4 mid to high settings 1080p and i will use it for some simple MS word work with a monitor included and i need it with windows and an optical drive please and i want a fairly quiet PC which has plenty of upgrade options for the hard drive, processor and the GPU and im looking to buy from newegg,amazon and NCIX US only and no liquid cooling.

AMD FX-8320 Vishera: $120

Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+: $108 before $15 rebate

You can snag a GTX 770 for around $270 or better yet, the Sapphire Radeon R9 280X 3GB for $215 before $15 rebate.

Either will blow past 60FPS at high. Spend all that extra cash on your OS, an SSD and some fancy aftermarket cooling.
