Budget Range: Between $800-$1000

System Usage: Gaming

Parts Required: Basically everything. I'm Starting from scratch.

Overclocking: No I don't feel safe doing that.

SLI or Crossfire: Nope. Not really.

Monitor Resolution: 1600 x 900

Additional Comments: It should be able to run games like Watchdogs, DA Inquisition etc at High settings at the least(Thus the 900p monitor).

Parts I'm looking at:

CPU: AMD FX 8320
Motherboard: ASRock 970 Extreme3
RAM: G.Skills RipjawsX DDR3 1 X 8GB
V-Card: MSI N760 Gaming
Case: NZXT Phantom 240
PSU: Corsair CS650m
Speakers: Logitech Z120
Monitor: Dell E2014H 19.5 inch
Hard Drive: WD Blue WD10EZEX 1TB

If anybody has any ideas or advice on how I could get the most bang for my buck or maybe another part that is a little cheaper please tell me as well as any difference between the recommended part and the one I have posted.

And I reside in India by the way, so prices here are around 10-30% more than that in US.

Thank you so much for any help any of you can give me!!

Thanks. Will go for the gigabyte mobo. Just one question though. Shouldn't the corsair CS 650 be better than the one you suggested? Do correct me if I'm wrong.
