Hi I need advice in building a mid-range gaming pc.

Approximate Purchase Date: Late March or Early April :wahoo:  Hopefully, :colere:  My mom :chaudar:  would be buying the parts in the US and she wants websites like newegg,amazon and ncix where ever is the cheapest. :fille: 
Budget Range: $400 - 500 yes. Really really tight budget :'(  :crazy: 
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming of course. Games like BF4, LoL, Dota 2, DayZ, Watch Dogs and older games. Surfing the net, Live streaming, Little bit of editing, Microsoft word and other school sht.
Parts Not Required: The OS , HDD, Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers, Monitor, Case (Antec gx700) That is all. :ange: 
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, Amazon, NCIX or others(US) any website as long as its the cheapest. :beurk: 
Country: Will be buying at the US but I live in the Philippines :hello:  :jap: 
Parts Preferences: AMD Cpu because it is cheap. Gpu - Any as long as it is in the budget and the best bang for the buck. Cheap but good mobo and capable of overclocking like Asus.
Overclocking: Yes for the gpu. But for the cpu, maybe cause will use the stock temporarily, no money for after market cooler :( 
SLI or Crossfire: Nope.
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080p
Additional Comments: These are the builds that I am confused :??:  about:
AMD FX 6300
Asus M5A78L
EVGA GTX 750ti FTW or R7 265 ???
HyperX 8GB Kit (2x4GB) CL9
Corsair Builder Series CX 430 w or 500w

Or

AMD 760K Richland
SAPPHIRE Vapor-X R9 270X OR PowerColor DEVIL AXR9 270X OR EVGA SuperClocked GTX 760 or anything under $250ish
GIGABYTE GA-F2A88XM-D3H FM2+
Rosewill Stallion Series RD500-2SB 500W

Any changes or recommendations?
Thank You to anyone who will answer :D  :ouimaitre: 
Soorry for my bad english :oops:

About 500$, cheapest you can get if you don't want to lose quality : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3dapd
Will be able to play BF4 on ultra at about 40 - 50 fps or so (with mantle on)
You can overclock the GPU to the limit (slide the slider to the end) and it will perform like a 270X or just below a 760 for like 80$ less :)

Okay thanks for the tip :D , I think I'll be looking at the amd fx 6300 and the r9 270. Are you sure 430w would be enough?
Even if I overclock the cpu and the gpu?
