Do you have any hardware you are reusing(power supply, ram, hard drive, optical drive, keyboard, mouse, lcd, an audio output device of some sort)? Will you be needing a new copy of windows(7/8/8.1)? That will eat into your budget close to 100 bucks.

sorry but "budget build" and "hardcore gaming" do not go hand in hand.

for that kind of budget what i would go with is:

fx-6300
970 chipset matx mobo
2x4gb 1600+ ram
1tb hdd
500-550w psu
matx case
best gpu you can get with remaining cash.

of course that is assuming $550-600 spent on the actual computer itself including os. this does not include a monitor or peripherals..

When we know what you already have and what you still need, we can give you some specific suggestions for parts based on your budget. It would help to know your location so we can price parts where you are(or where you can get them). Also curious if you have have resolution, quality setting and frame rate targets in mind(though you did say hardcore so I would guess 1080p minimum with max settings at 60+fps in any game you want to play which may be beyond what you're willing and/or able to spend at the present time)

I live in the United States on the east coast. I would like to get med-high graphics with 30-60 FPS 1080p for games to at least be playable. Plz post two types of spec if you would plz include an estimated fps and settings quality and price.
