By cabinet I assume you mean case? The case holds all the components and provides an easy way for you to turn on the components. Without the case you would have to short the pins to turn the motherboard on.

Also what games do you play?

And expensive case means nothing, a case is just style and functionality. If the case you have now provides you with everything that you need then no need to buy another, if however you want something else, thats completely up to you.

Oh! Thank you !!
 
I would actually suggest something like this. It does include a case and is slightly over your $700 budget totaling $715.42, without the case the total would be $625.43 Shipped.

There are a few other motherboards available I happened to choose an ATX vs the Micro-ATX motherboard you chose. The 270x will perform slightly better than the 7870 you chose also. I recommend G.Skill ram to everyone I know, whether you overclock or not because of its lifetime warranty and great reliability. The PSU simply because frankly I could not find your PSU anywhere I looked in a brief search and would recommend a quality PSU regardless of what system you are building. Seasonic is definitely one of the best manufacturers on the market for PSU's. As for the mouse, I'm a bit of a fanboy of Logitech mice, however they have given me nothing but great results, as my MX518 has done so for years. The 400s has been compared to the legendary MX518(one of the best budget mice for FPS ever! IMO) several times over, but is a new and improved version. This will actually be my next mouse when my MX518 dies.

Hopefully this helps some!

The FX 6300 works good for gaming, if you have a good enough graphics card. I use a 6300 in my 1st build and I've been happy with it's performance.

AMD is good for budgets.

Only thing I can recommend on the board, avoid asrock. Their customer service is junk.

The Seasonic G550 is certainly nice, but it is a little overkill for what the OP needs. The S12II 520W would work just as well and shaves $25 off the build. That puts him at $600 w/o case.

OP, let us know the exact model of your current case. If it's MicroATX, then Maginus's build will need to be tweaked to include a MicroATX motherboard.

Guys hows this one ?
http://www.flipkart.com/sapphire-am...270+&ref=f16b8bd7-fa28-4286-9dfd-78346a76ca4c
Should i go for it ?
And required power supply is 600w !
Which psu should i opt for with this graphics card ?

That should be fine. It does not actually require a 600W power supply. Sapphire just puts that there to cover their asses in case somebody has a really junky PSU, which the G550 and S12II most certainly are not.

By the way, when asking for help, you should mention your country and your budget in your native currency.
