:heink: This is going to be my first build, but if you have any other suggestions, please post them,

I dont want a monitor, mouse, or sound card. My price range is 650-700$

Case:Logisys CS308RD
RAM : Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM
Cpu:AMD FX-6300 Vishera 3.5GHz
Video card: XFX Radeon HD 7790 1GB 128-bit DDR5
mother board:ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
with 1 tb hard drive

ALSO, in the case i think it said something about already coming with a power supply? if so, would this be able to run with a 480w power supply?

And if you have any suggestions to what case I should buy, please tell me them

Also, what does the "bit" part mean where is say my vid card?

Right, well that rules out quite a few things then.

Here's a build with the FX6300 you picked out earlier.
Usually, I'd spend less on the motherboard and more on the CPU, but the combo deals/rebates have sorta skewed the balance a bit more than normal. It's very heavy on deals+rebates, but those are the things you want to exploit for best value. A slightly more balanced build would probably be an FX8320 and a cheaper motherboard.
The advantage of this build is that if you do want to overclock at some point, you can, and it doesn't really cost you anything to have that option.

That's weak for $700

Bit means transfer Bus so the bigger the bit, the faster the data transfer is.

I5 unlocked is one of the best processors, even tho it's 3rd gen (4th is newest) it will never bottleneck and it's faster execution per core than AMD
Tom's recommends unlocked Intel CPUs for gaming.
Ram is 1866Ghz at 1.5v and 9 latency is the best out there. You start having problems once you go past 1.5V and Latency is really good.
Video Card is 7950 3gb, (386 bit bus) so it will handle all the games at ultra.
PSU, all you need is 12v rail with 30+ amps to support GPU. So even 430W will do but 500W has a little extra juice in case you want to OC ur GPU (Which you do)
For Case, it has a side vent for GPU and top vent so you can push air thru the top because heat rises
For HDD I Chose basic 1T thats cheap and fast
Mobo: I chose it because it supports the Ram and it can support 2 GPUs but you will need a stronger PSU.

Optional:
I chose SSD 120GB 450Mb/s read/write
It boosts load speeds because it'll act more like a cache for 1T HDD
you can put your OS and most frequent used programs like Videogames(1 or 2), Photoshop, etc

What WarWolvrineWarrior (jeez that's awful) says is pretty much bang on. Only issue is that we don't really know what your $700 has to include.
Regardless, your components do seem like poor value.

The "bit" is a reference to the unit of data, ie, bytes, and signifies the size of the interface. Think of it like the width of a pipeline. In general though, it's not a figure that should concern you too much.

Yeah PCpartpicker isn't infallible, but it's a very good tool for price comparisons. You should still check around, but as a guide it works pretty well. Discrepancies often turn up from daily deals/special offers and changing rebate/delivery charges etc.

Does your budget need to include an OS? This will make a significant difference to what you can afford.

And the Intel equivalent-
Went a little over budget here, but managed to pack in an i5 and a really nice GTX760. I could have knocked a few $ off the case and gone for a smaller HDD, but it didn't seem like good value.

Nope

That build is incomplete, as it has no prices on graphics cards, so they aren't included in the price. Additionally, the PSU is horrible, the HDD is wrong, the memory is overpriced, the motherboard is good but uneccesary, and while the NZXT Phantom is a great case, it's probably more than your budget should allow (I'd definitely stay in the sub ~$50 price range to focus the money on performance.
