Main uses are gaming and general internet browsing

I am not really too bothered about overclocking or crossfire

here is a list that I have come up with so far:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

! I'm making my own PC right now and have the same budget and almost exact same build.
FX 4300
ASRock 880GM-LE FX AM3+ AMD 880G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
Rosewill Challenger Mid Tower case (same price)
Same RAM
Same HHD
Sapphire Radeon 6570 GPU (not going nearly as hard as you lawl)
Corsair 600WM PSU
Same monitor (hopefully)
Maybe I should go with FX 6300? I still haven't figured out if the 6 would be better than 4 for gaming.
Good luck!

Minor edit to get a 7870XT
Switch to dual channle ram kit, much better
for $10 you get a mb that gets you a USB3 header but did not swap it in

The Antec HCG 620M would be a better solution
same thing with dual channel ram

make sure you get a good deal on the 6570
