I reccomnd Intel,windows 7 and 8 gigs of ram and the NZXT Tempest 410 ATX Mid Tower Case case.Ill probbaly Just play combatarms and minecraft and a few older games. And after i see a good game ill be upgrading ive look at so much builts but my dad says lower so his probbaly looking around this price or lower. Ill probbaly look a monitor my self or use a tv or an old monitor for now.
I dont need a keyboard or mouse. I wont be over clocking.

If you wanted to play the newer games like Assassin's Creed or Battlefield, this build will suffice.

Minecraft and Combat Arms hardly need a GPU. You don't need to spend much for a build like this, this will be plenty and leaves room for a card in the future if you decide to play intensive games.

-$80 under budget.
-The 300R is a better quality case, but if you prefer the looks of the Tempest 410 then go for that instead.
-Windows 8.1 is overall faster than Windows 7.
-Overclocks nicely.
-7950 maxes a ton of games and gets high on the higher end ones.
