This is about as close as I can get, for what you need, and still have a PC capable of gaming. You might want to see if you can find a used monitor or something on clearance on a more local level. Keyboard and mouse, you might be able to find an acceptable deal local too.

CPU: Intel Core i3-4130 3.4GHz Dual-Core Processor ($118.97 @ OutletPC)

I would go with something like that, the FX-6300 is a better CPU, much more future proof than the intel dual core, you also get a better GPU:

FX 6300 is only better in very select situations and when overclocked. With that weak board, overclocking isn't a good idea. Also the i3 can easily be upgraded to an i5, i7, or E3 1230v3. AM3+ is a dead socket and that board has no worthwhile upgrade potential.

I agree about the upgrade potential of your intel build...i disagree on the overall performance of the FX CPU, i think in that regard it is better...even at stock clock speed, for OP budget if he wants best performance per dollars now, this is what i would go with...

But even the r7 260 GPU IMHO should be upgraded to at least a r7 265 for 1080p gaming, the GPU in both build is still by far the weakest link..what you think? can we provide better GPU performance without impacting too much on the cost, because let's agree both CPU will feed low-end cards like that all they long...

Can you buy parts in your country for the converted cost in other currencies? As an example, if the AMD FX-6300 costs US $115, can you buy it for 5143 pesos in the Philippines? If not, then we need to know the average cost difference in percentage.

I would prefer a GTX 750ti at minimum, but settled on the 250x/HD7770 to get in closer to budget. The only way to get any cheaper would be a 750k, I think, and those are at the bottom of the barrel and even worse upgrade path, unless AMD pulls a miracle out of thin air with excavator. Anyway, here is a 750k build with a 750ti.

The 750ti model I picked it a heavily overclocked one, so should perform similar to a reference model 265 that are generally a similar price. Also, considering the OP's location, lower power consumption is probably a good thing since it also means less heat. ;)
