I've heard great things about PC gaming so i decided to build a PC. This is my first build so ima need some help picking out parts.

I've got a graphics card and a power supply but i need the rest of the stuff (except for keyboard, mouse and monitor). I would like the rest of the build to be under $600. I want to able to play BF4, AC4, GTA V and Minecraft also

What i got so far
Graphics Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121775

Power Supply: http://www.provantage.com/xfx-p1550sxxb9~7PINE0MN.htm

Which should i get? 7 or 8? and where can i find it for cheap?
 
I do not like windows 8 personally i use windows 7 but you can get windows 8 if you want either one is fine.As far as where you can get it newegg,Amazon,tigerdirect are some suggestions.Though anywhere you look price will pretty much be the same $100 give or take a few dollars so here is a different build within (actually a little over) you're budget that includes windows.
