So i basically need any suggestion in building a gaming PC based on AMD stuff..
Preferably, a 4-core processor, while the budget is not surpassing the 400-450$ range.
Thanks in advance, Termen.

Already have keyboard/monitor/etc.
It's all about the tower.

Yes, it's over budget. But these parts will last you. It focuses on paying a little bit more to receive a quality build that can run games well for at least a few years.

A CPU cooler can also be added down the road.

do you intend on overclocking? and instead of the fx4300 why not try and get an fx6300 and get 4gb of ram instead? more future proofed for when games can exploit all 6 cores. ram can be added later, but you wont need more than 4gb of ram for any of the games that are out today or in the next few years. food for thought.
