Building PC--500$ budget

Wish to build a PC AMD based.

Need MB, RAM, Storage, Proccy, Cabinet and Fans.

My thoughts:

MB: GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Proccy: AMD 8350

Ram: Need 16 GB not sure which brand.

Please advice.

Thanks.
 
Can you please indicate where you are purchasing from and what you will use the computer for?

Given what you've listed already, there is no way you can build a system for $500. You have already listed $400 worth of items, and you do not have and any storage, a case, a power supply, or a graphics card. I assume you do not need an operating system, but that would add another $100.
 
I'm sorry..

Will order from Amazon.com or newegg.com, basically for games like Call of duty series, Assasins Creed series, BF series...

I already have GPU, PSU, Monitor and OS.

Only need the stuff mentioned above.

What GPU and PSU are you using?

With $400 in parts already selected, the best you could do is a $65 1TB hard drive and a basic $40 case.

I would recommend that you choose the FX-6350, as that will free up some of your budget for a higher-end case and hard drive.

If you really only have $100 left for the hard drive and case, this is what you should buy:
(1) Hard drive: Western Digital Blue 1TB ($66) - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=ATVPDKIKX0DER
(2) Case: NZXT Source 210 ($40) - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=ATVPDKIKX0DER
 
I have XFX hd 7850 2GB and CM Extrm 2 625 W CPU.

I can stretch my budget but dont want to compromise on MB and CPU.
 
Then choose the hard drive I linked above but pick the NZXT 210 Elite which is definitely worth the extra $10 over the regular 210.
