Hi, I haven't been in the loop with hardware for over 7 years now and was wondering what I should invest my money into building a gaming system. I'm looking to spend around 650 - 700 dollars. I tried putting one together myself on newegg, but I just feel so overwhelmed with all the options and don't want to make the wrong decision. I don't need a monitor or case just yet. What do you guys think?

Here is something you could go with to get you started. I haven't included a unlocked CPU because well in the end your budget doesn't leave room for it. Also it should be more than sufficient in the end for you.
