Why do you want to go AMD? The 9590 is more expensive than an i5, will draw a lot more power, run MUCH hotter, and perform worse for gaming.

And with a limited budget, the 4GB 270x is pointless, AMD Gamer RAM is pointless. And you definitely do NOT want a case + power supply combo, the power supplies bundled with cases are 99.99% of the time godawful.

Thank you for quick response. I wanted to go Full AMD because I thought I can get much cheaper parts with good performance. Anyways do you have a better build in mind? I also don't know much about these things so a detailed description here and there would be appreciated. Cheers.

Here are some parts that would work for you:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core Processor ($144.97 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($79.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($79.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($55.98 @ OutletPC)

Case: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case ($54.99 @ Amazon)

(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

-CPU- the AMD fx-9000 series are not good, they overheat and are a pain, don't perform as well as they should for the price, stick to the fx-8320 for an AMD build unless you can afford the cooling (you can't in a $750 build)
-mobo- The gigabyte UD3P is one of the best motherboards at its price range, ony one you will find with a 8 phase VRM design at $70 (= better for overclocking)
-RAM- any 1600 mhz CAS 9 ram is good, brand doesn't matter for ram really, picked one that doesn't have a large heat spreader to fit a CPU cooler in the future
-HDD- standard 1 TB HDD
-GPU- R9 280, more powerful than the 270x with 3gb vram, a pretty great card at it's price
-CASE- Corsair 200R, a good case at a decent price, any decent case (with decent cooling) will cost you about $40+
-PSU- A build like this will need at least a GOOD QUALITY 550w psu, if you can't find the xfx 550w any XFX or Seasonic power supply is reliable. Also the Antec High Current Gamer (HCG) is a good model, never skimp on your power supply, expect to spend 10% of your budget on a power supply (around $75)

If you don't have a credit card, you could always get a prepaid credit card to order online or buy gift cards for amazon or newegg. You may have trouble finding the parts you want at a decent price depending on what stores you have to buy from.

Are you in the US? If yes, Do you have a microcenter or frys near you?

Thank you for such a detailed explanation mate. I am sorry, I am not in US. I actually live in Pakistan and you are right, I might not find these parts here so online shopping it is then. I must ask what if I go for Intel Build rather then AMD build, Would that be worth going for? I just want a PC that can play most of the newer games on high settings + I am not planning to overclock anything, anytime sooner. Cheers.

Personally I prefer intel CPUs, they are reliable and have more power per core which makes them last a bit longer (but fewer cores).

For an intel build:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($184.99 @ NCIX US)
Motherboard: ASRock H97 PRO4 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($86.66 @ Newegg)
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($72.98 @ OutletPC)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($55.98 @ OutletPC)
Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 280 3GB TWIN FROZR Video Card ($200.00 @ Newegg)
Case: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case ($54.99 @ TigerDirect)
Power Supply: XFX 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($49.99 @ NCIX US)
Total: $705.59

The i5 4460 and the H97 chipset may not be available in Pakistan yet (I am assuming parts availability is similar to India) so if you can't find the 4460 and H97 then you can get a i5 4440 and the H87 version of the motherboard.

For the power supply, I know in India that the only good brand you can find is Seasonic for the most part. It may be the same for you, look for a seasonic 620w power supply.

Seasonic does have a decent budget PSU line only available in some countries, see if you can find this one if the budget is feeling tight:

Otherwise this one is the one I have and is great:
Power Supply: SeaSonic 620W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($88.99 @ SuperBiiz)

Edit: Should have mentioned that XFX is not available in India and probably Pakistan but XFX is made by seasonic so same thing just seasonic is usually a bit more expensive.
