moderate gaming computer, mainly for running programs like eclipse and others like it, but also emulators for android phone apps, i would perfer intel, but will go with amd if it is the better way.

AMD is your best option in this price bracket

FX 6300
mb with a 970 chipset
2 x4 gig of RAM
R9 270 or 270x
500 watt psu

what about the 4570 from intel, runs about $200.
i own i hard drive, monitor, mouse and keyboard,
need cpu, memory, mobo, and power supply,

Outlander is always suggesting AMD and I am not sure why.. Go with a 4150, it performs better than the 6300 at most games and costs the same. And obviously the 4570 would be way better than both of those. Build I would suggest:
