Budget gaming builds, built on AMD

[godfish]

Budget it around 650-700 dollars. FX 6300, 8350, and 8320 preferrably

Does this include a monitor/os/keyboard/mouse?

Here you go, mate (went with the 6350, quite a bit higher stock clock speeds than 6300):

Includes the OS, but no peripherals.

If you'd like a step up in graphics card and wanna go AMD, just switch GTX 660 for this:

No, I already have all that, forgot to put that in the OP

 

[godfish]

I also already have optical drive and hard drive that I am just going to move from my current PC

Since you already have a HDD for storage, I included a SSD for fast boot and loading times.
FX-8320 can easily overclock to AMD's top of the line 8350.
CM Hyper 212 EVO is a great performing cpu cooler at a small price. It overclocks well.
Great motherboard for overclocking.
7870 XT is a little weaker than a 7950, but it's extremely cheap. There's a MIR that reduces the price by $30, making it $140. It's $100 cheaper than a 7950 and just a little weaker.
Great quality case on sale. It provides superb airflow and cable management. At $70, this is the best case in it's price range.
Great psu. Semi-modular and has enough watts for this set-up and overclocking. If you want to crossfire in the future, then grab this PSU: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1750bbefx

Should I go with these 2gb video cards or a 3gb one, I'm planning on waiting until black friday/ cyber monday so I can get a bunch of stuff on sale. Do you think these AMD processors will be discounted?

 

[realchaos]

There will be lots of discount for black friday/cyber monday. You may want to create a new thread closer to that day to utilize the promo codes/sales.
2gb vram is enough for 1080p.

You've got a pretty good chance on discounted AMD CPUs, and Intel, for that matter. 2GB is enough for single 1080p, and manageable for higher resolution.

If OP want's to bring real's build cost down,he could consider looking at the 300r carbide case.
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-case-300r

Should bring it to $690

 

[realchaos]

Yeah I was looking at the 300R as well, but for only $20 the 500R is a better buy, IMHO. It will last a long time with it's superb airflow.
However, if the OP really needs to bring the price down, then he/she can definitely grab the 300r.
