The budget for the computer is $900.
If you can make a cheaper build I would prefer that.
I want the build to play new pc games, and also be upgradable in the future.
The build can be either AMD or intel.
I already have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers.
I have asked this question again because I ain't getting much help.

This is a possible build for you. Depending on when you decide to purchase your parts the build can vary due to new released parts and parts becoming cheaper.

Bring over the memory, bring over the hard drive, use the same case. Only things I would change honestly; Motherboard, CPU, GPU, and perhaps PSU.

The worst that happens is that the memory at some point craps out. But honestly as long as its ddr3 1600 or so 8 gigabytes yea I'd stick with memory even still. Again things he can carry over and eventually if he wanted to change out to keep cost down. Sure there is better for him but I'm suggesting what will cut cost for the time to get him stronger components while leaving room on the 900 budget.

I wouldn't get a PSU from EVGA probably would stick to your generic Seasonic PSU. A 650w psu isn't necessary for a GTX760 anywho

If I keep my current motherboard wouldn't it bottleneck the gpuNo it will not the only thing that would bottleneck your GPU would be your CPU at this point. So you could get away with just changing out your CPU. Which in turn will enable you to leave your OS on the computer as well so you won't have to buy a new copy of windows.

The motherboard that came with the computer was a msi 760GMA-P34 (FX).If I can keep my motherboard all I have to buy is a psu, cpu, and gpu.
That is correct. You may be limited to what you can do with your motherboard as big box store computers tend to have locked down bios's but you will be able to upgrade as its a piledriver CPU already and will be just fine. I would just recommend the CPU cooler due to the 8350 drawing a little more heat.

I am thinking about getting a AMD FX-8320.
Should I get a gtx 760 or a 770, and what would be a good psu and cpu cooler
I also found out all the specs of my current computer
-1TB 7200RPM Western Digital Hard Drive
-MSI 760GMA-P34(FX) Motherboard
-AMD FX-4300 Processor
-MSI GT630 2GB VIDEO CARD
-2x 4GB GDDR3-1600 Memory
-Apex 300 Watt PSU
-NZXT Source 220 Chassis (http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/107-source-220-case)
-LG 24X DVDRW (http://www.ibuypower.com/Store/2014-Mage) Search the Optical drive specs
The case is different but it is about the same size or bigger.

I guess that all really depends on you really in terms of what you are wanting to spend. Personally I would go with the best that you could afford I would say that the GTX770 is probably worth it over the GTX760 but that is all up to you really.
I have a Corsair h100i for my cooler I have it mainly because I like to keep things pretty quiet. However it may be different for you.
In terms of a power supply a 550 watt unit from XFX is probably a cheap way to go to keep you in line with a card like a GTX770, 780/ti but that is really up to you in the end with those things on what you feel comfortable spending.
Personally I find myself getting the best of what I can afford and sometimes I overstretch a little bit because I know spending a little extra may end up with better returns longer term. I had a GTX660Ti and then exchanged it and bought a GTX670 mainly because I felt like I wanted just a little more.

Yea looks good to me I personally would of gone the route of a XFX power supply however the builder series is just fine. It's not the best but its good enough to get the job done certainly.
