A $130 cpu and $100 gpu will be worthless to you if you don't have a case to put them in, and a motherboard to mount them on, and a power supply to power the whole thing. Then you need RAM, a hard drive and some form of operating system.

Pretty much need four things a cpu+gpu and once I figure those things out I can know what mother board and power supply I need. I am willing to spend upto 130 for cpu and 100 for gpu and 85 for motherboard and how much ever I need to for power supply. If you add that up it comes down to 315 for the motherboard gpu and cpu... thus my budget for those three things is 315 and ill spend how much ever i need for power supply as I dont think they will be too expensive ... I am sorry for not cutting to the chase ... thanks!!

Since you don't seem to be computer savvy (sorry), and you're not a huge gamer, theres no reason for you to get an overclocking chip. Intel's are smoother and more reliable and you wont have to worry about heat or power with an i3.

The 7790 graphics card is why my build is more expensive. I use a 7770 right now, and its... tapped out playing games that have high demands (PS2/BF4). 7790 is pretty superior to it, and theres no reason to "go cheap" in that arena.

No this computer wont be a gaming "beast", however it will play any game out now, at least enjoyably if not at the highest settings. With intel chipset, it will be very reliable, cool, and will probably last you a few years. I personally love AMD, but they do require a certain amount of effort and knowledge to utilyze properly.
