hello,
i don't have much knowledge about which cpu and graphics card should i get for my gaming pc on a tight budget of 500-550$ (roughly 30-35k INR). i may stretch my budget a little bit though.

i am planning to play these games on my build:

battle field 4
crisis 3
gta5 (if it's going to be available for pc)
dota 2
cs
and i might try other games as well.

i did a little research and i found these components fitting my needs and budget

amd fx 8320 8 core cpu

many sites sugested fx 6300 6 core cpu

so i am a little bit confused which one is better. i mean the fx 8320 has more cores, how much does the number of cores matter in gaming?
also the fx8320 can be overclocked so which one should i go for?

for the graphics card i have selected amd/ati hd 7790 oc 2gb
is it good enough to handle the games i shortlisted above?

is there any better choice for graphics card?

for the motherboard this one i selected having am3+ socket
asus m5a78l-m/usb3

i have couple of questions regarding the motherboard,
- the cpu i mentioned above (fx8320) can be overclocked, does this motherboard support overclock?
- the graphic card i mentioned, is it compatible with this motherboard?
does it even depend on motherboard?


now,
i haven't selected any psu yet.
500W enogh for this configuration?
or should i get a 600w psu?
how do i know which psu is good for this build?
please suggest me some psu.


i haven't selected any ram yet.
how much memory should be good enough ?
i am thinking of 4gb ram.
or should i go for 2X4?
please suggest some ram as well.

and for the cabinets i am there nking to get it from local stores intead of online. still if i find any good looking cabinets i might go for it.

please guys help me in making my first pc.
i haven't assembled any pc before so i need help in selecting each part.
please reply.


thank you for making it to this far.
i know this has been a long thread..

awaiting for answer.
thank you :)

with a budget of only $500, your best bet is to shop around for a deal on a used machine on ebay and CL.
