Hi everyone,
i want to build my first budget gaming pc and this is for the first time so i don't really understand about the components. so my plan is i want build powerful pc at this class with a budget around $400-$600 for the rest of the components without the VGA because i already have MSI R9 280 3G twin frozr. and i want to use intel chip.
i dont know what motherboard should i use and how much the power i need for the Power supply and the rest of things. so if anybody could help me, it would be very nice )
thanks.

4-600 is an average restraint for 'budget gaming' but throwing in MSI R9 280 and an intel made this one real hard to get.

Here's a parts list in at 650. When your gpu is 200+, your cpu is 100+ and your OS is 80+ you're basically leaving 200 or less for the rest (don't even think about 400$ range unless you've got a case and HDD already and plan on running linux.

If you search around on ebay, you might be able to find parts cheaper. I did that for my first build, but I wouldn't recommend in general.

sorry i forgot to mention that i already have the graphic card.

Oh that makes it much easier. If you take the gpu off, the price is 445 with rebates (linke above). With the extra 150 you can fit an i5 3.3ghz in, little nicer psu, and a 1tb HDD. This one is your high price end @ 595$
