Hi People,

I have a budget of $650 Australian Dollars and I would like to build a Gaming PC.
Requirements:
No Windows (already own a copy)
No hard drives (already have 3 of them)
ATX - Nothing else but an ATX case and motherboard
8GB of RAM
CPU and Graphics Card - this is for gaming, nothing else apart from video rendering.

This is what I have created so far:

Could anyone come up with anything that will perform better for the same price. Don't show me a prebuilt one, I want to build one myself.

Thanks.
