I'm looking for a new PC since my old laptop broke and I don't want to invest money on it getting fixed because it gives horrible performance anyways. I've put out several threads but now have 3 builds that I can start out with. Note that I will be able to upgrade to a R7-260x in the future. I only want to be able to play casual games like Minecraft, Skyrim, Rust, and Source Engine games( Tf2, Gmod, LFD2, and Half life 2).
1st build-
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/rxbpzy
This build has a A8-6600k APU. After seeing lots of game plays with it, I've seen that it can play TF2 on high settings with 60fps while recording and 80fps while not recording. This means that it will play all Source Engine games very well.
I'm only going to have 4gbs 1866mhz ram while the video that I saw had 8gbs 1866mhz ram. I will upgrade to 8gbs of ram if I get this build.
2nd build-

This has the cheapest Haswell CPU on the market right now. This only has Intel HD Graphics but it gives lots of choices for upgrading in the future. I haven't seen a lot of game plays from it but I know that I won't do very well.
3rd build-

This build has a Athlon X4-750k with a GT 610. The GT 610 can play TF2 on high settings at 720p with 30-40fps while recording and 50-60fps not recording. It should be able to handle Source games well. If I get this build, I won't have to upgrade my CPU for a while. This would allow me to get the R7-260x a lot faster.
Those are my choices of right now. Remember that I only want to play casual games and that I will be able to upgrade to a R7-260x.
