Hi, this is my first time building a PC, I want to build a gaming PC for 450$ and I want to know what you need, I have the main things such as: Antec Power Supply, Athlon Processor, Ballistix Ram 8gb, 1TB Hard drive, ASRock Motherboard, and GPU, am I missing anything else. Or do I need anything else for this gaming PC build. And will it run games such as BF4, CSGO, and others like WoW and Dota? I also am not planning to run these games on max settings.
 
A few of the missing components that I see missing are a casing, an operating system, and a disk drive. I would also recommend getting an aftermarket CPU cooler. If the processor didn't come with a CPU cooler, one will be needed. When selecting a casing make sure it supports the form factor of the motherboard. It cannot be certain to tell if the setup will be able to run the games listed above, without knowing the GPU is being selected and the exact CPU being used. Also AMD's power design isn't the most efficient and generates more heat compared to Intel, so make sure to add case fans to combat this.
