My budget is around 400$
Sadly i am not in the flow with all of the new PC parts out on the market so im not sure what build should i go for or what should i put into the PC build to maximize the power.

Sadly it is low and i am aware of it.I dont need a Windows license.Planned on playing Battlefield 4 for the most part,but i am not sure if i could even run it on this configuration even tho when i checked GameDebate,the results showed me that i can run it from medium to high settings on 1920x1080.Other games i planned on playing are Wildstar,League of Legends and CSGO.Because im not really good with the new parts out on the market,could you recommend me a build on this price range?

This should play any game just fine on at least medium settings.

Try this - I fit an SSD and the 750TI is a beast. For gaming, the Intel chip is better and lets you upgrade to an i3, i5 etc second hand later on (not a new one, since it's socket 1150).

You will notice that probably most of these parts are like +15$ when you convert euros to dollars

Pick. The. Solution.

LOL. You are very welcome.

R7 360 Nitro should be good. This is another good brand for the 360 that I saw on that website: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150753&cm_re=r7_360-_-14-150-753-_-Product

I thought i already picked it lol,i think i got it now rofl.Well as i said,i lost the interest for PC gaming in general back when people used to build gaming rigs using i5-2500k`s.Went to console gaming at that time which was probably 4 years ago rofl.Decided to go back to the good old PC because i want to play games which arent available on consoles(and they suck compared to pcs,aint just bashin consoles,i did the research lol).Anyway,as i can see,the build you gave me is able to run BF4 on high with AA off 70FPS with no problems(watched a few videos on youtube,and checked gamedebate aswell).One more question tho,will that 450W PSU cut it?

Hey! don't knock the 2500K!...I'm still rocking one after nearly 5 years...that was my plan. I've just tacked on a 390X now, so I'm good for another few years yet I hope!

That seems like a decent build right there for purpose Oleg.

To be honest, I wouldn't go less than a 650watt now. (Thanks for the electric bill AMD) It will give you options later if you re-purpose it for another build! If you are building an ITX....get a modular PSU.

I went from a Q6600 SLCR to a 2500K Sandy. Best buys I've ever made over the years. They OC like a beast when required.
