how to build gaming pc on a budget

[EddieLs]

Alright guys, i have a budget of $450. Im planning to buy a gaming pc to play for example GtaV, Outlast, some indie games like five nights at Freddies etc.
Ill most likely be playing on a Tv so 1080p of resolution is ok. Im trying to get good fps and little to no Lag.

It is my first time ever building a pc. I dont know what to buY.
Thanks in advance

Honestly, why not just get a PS4? It'll save you from the horribly optimized console ports and it integrates a blue ray player.

If you're dead set on a PC, here's a decent build for your budget:

Well, you'll get slightly above 30 FPS on GTA V, normal textures at full HD with FXAA. Not too good, but you'll have to make do. http://www.techspot.com/review/991-gta-5-pc-benchmarks/page2.html

What would i have to upgrade to make it run alittle bit more frames per second (35 and above) and 1080p?

The GPU is the limiting factor here. EDIT: This should get you around 46 FPS, maybe 50 with a bit of OC:
