So, I'm getting a new PC within the end of the summer, and I was thinking this setup:

Samsung 24" LED LS24D340H
SpeedLink RAPAX Gaming Keyboard
SpeedLink LEDOS Gaming Mouse
Komplett HAF 912 Adv. Midi Tower
Cooler Master B500 VER.2 KPC
AMD FX-6300 Black Edition
ASUS M5A97 R2.0, Socket-AM3+

XFX Radeon R9 270X 2GB GDDR5
Seagate Barracuda® 1TB
High Speed HDMI kabel, 2m

The total price of this would be 1160,42$

I did build my computer but I am no expert by any means. Although I would just like to point out that what makes a "gaming computer" a "gaming computer" is mostly the video card. Now i know that yes the processor, the power supply, and the rest of the system are of course very important to the overall functionality of the system, but I would recommend spending a few extra dollars on the video card. Now of course don't take what I say to the extreme and dump all of your money into the video card because then you'll experience very bad bottle-necking. Also, take in mind that current computer games have seen in increase use in the video graphics memory. So if your budget allows it I would recommend trying to up that 2GB to 4GB just a suggestion. A very helpful site that I used a lot when building my computer was https://pcpartpicker.com/ they have builds already set up in certain price ranges to make it easy for you. I would recommend taking a look at that site to get a feel of what else is out there.
