Well, hello everyone. first of all sorry for being in-active. Its been about 4 and a half years since being a member soo... had to take a little time off. But im back now! congratulation to CnD for the 5 years of awesomeness. Thanks to Usman55 for introducing me here.
Now to the important stuff, im building a pc. I dont know if this is the right place to be asking but i hope i'll get some opinions.
I'm thinking of building a budget gaming pc for about $650. Excluding all the externals (mouse, keyboard,etc). I found some really good suggestions but im still not completely satisfied.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaE88PAqbC8 this is the only one i liked. Can someone check it out? If i can change some parts for a good price that would be nice. hehaho; thank you. And congratulations again on the 5 years! wahooo;

I'm not a big gamer and I'm not sure of the prices/components that are available in various parts of the world but for $600-ish it looks like a good gaming set-up to me.

If you're buying the parts individually my advice would be to check the prices from as many retailers as you can, check check and check again to get the best price possible for each bit. Some bundles can actually work out cheaper than buying individual parts as well so check them out if you can

Good to see you on site again and celebrating our birthday cooll;

Personally, I built my gaming PC couple of months ago for around 600$
It has:

GA-970A-UD3
Phenom 2 x4 965
GTX 660 2GB
Antec 550W (it was cheap, not very well known but it is pretty good)

To be honest.. I'm not satisfied with the 965 fully, the stock fan is REALLY LOUD.. like an airplane engine :P (I chose not to buy a cooler because of my budget..)
Secondly, the 965 isn't as powerful as I would like it to be. Sometimes when I'm running many applications in the background it starts to bottleneck (or if it has been on for some time).

The problem is that I can't give you a build based on your budget since I don't know the prices in your country.

Mine costed around 600$, for an additional 50$ you can add a cooler. The 2GB GTX 660 runs Battlefield 4 on high-ultra settings. Not sure why you would add a 3GB GPU to a budget gaming rig.

But im getting a 3gb gpu for the same price.

The amount of GDDR Ram the graphics card doesn't matter at all unless you're running SLI, well, too little can be bad, but 1gb is enough for a single monitor setup, anything more doesn't increase performance noticeably.

Here's a nice build, the GPU and built in GPU (on the APU) can be put in crossfire which gives a nice free performance boost. Also it's colour matched
