I want to build a budget gaming pc for 500-700 euro. I need some help with parts. If it's possible it would be great if cheaper and better parts could be found. Thanks in advance :) 
This is all I got for now ( I have a monitor, HDD,mouse,keyboard,and OS on the HDD)http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/3gmD3

So your currency is € or £?
Anyway here's the closest build to yours but with a slightly better money use - better GPU, PSU and a better looking case.
The "downgrade" from fx 8350 to FX 8320 is only a clock speed matter and saves you some money to put on the other parts.

Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 Memory (£55.36 @ Ebuyer)

+1, I think the 8320 even can OC to the same max point as the 8350 can!

@02556 the build is ok But the motherboard isn't a good option..
Please do Not get that motherboard, it has an old as hell chipset, no SLI option (if you'll need one) and the thing that bothers me the most is the lack of OC possibility, the FX CPU's series are beasts when it comes to OC and that motherboard isn't a reliable on to do it with.

That's my opinion

Enjoy!

Thanks, that build looks awesome. I think I'll stick with this one. Will this pc run a lot faster than the one I sent? Btw, we have euro here in Ireland, just using partpicker to check compatibility http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/3gLn4 just added Fractal design R4 case and cpu cooler, not that much out of the budget, thanks :)

With pleasure! The Fractal Design R4 case is the best case I had so far so it's a great choice.

About the build performance, the difference between the one you posted and I did will be noticed only in gaming due to the fact that your parts were already good, I just messed a bit with the components so you'll have more money to invest in a better GPU.

Here's an overall look of the differences in gaming experience:

Enjoy ;)

I think You were just trying to save some money there to invest in other parts, witch is cool, it's just not recommended with AMD FX CPU's.
