Please help. I would like to get a cpu and gpu for a pc for about 200$ give or take 10$(combined). Should I get a better cpu or gpu. Any suggestions??? Im only 15 so i will get 50 bucks by december 1st. Should I just wait for more money and then get a good cpu and gpu or get something like the athlon x4 750k???

If you are willing to, wait for the extra money.

What will you be using the computer for? What specific games will you be playing?

If you are playing games like battlefield, crysis and farcry then spend more on the GPU

If you are playing games like Dota2 you could afford a lower end GPU.

What are the other specs of your computer so far?

Mostly not that much newer games. Nothing like arma 3 or metro. Stuff like nba 2k15, fifa 15. Also I will be playing emulators for Wii, game cube,ps2 etc. Oh and I already ordered a CPU for 100 $. It is the amd a10 5800k. I got it because it was cheap and I read that it comes with a OK integrated gpu. Also it is overclock-able. So now I need to decide what motherboard and ram can I get. Then my PC build will be compete. i already have a case and storage and OS.

Wait till you have more money and do a lot of research in the meantime. Stay away from APU's until AMD works them out a little better. They have potential but they are not there yet. You will find for the gamer the AM3+ and 1150 sockets will be your friend. If you insist on staying with the FM2+ you should have gone with the Athlon and spent your saved money on the GPU.

Thanks but I dont have the money for that yet. For now I have ordered a 100$ cpu with integrated graphics and a motherboard. I will get a video card in the future when I have the money. I might get the r9 270. But for now do you have any suggestions on whether or not I should buy ram first or a power supply??

For ram, how many GB are you able to afford? 8GB is the ideal but 4GB should be minimum. Anything about 1600Mhz you wont see a difference and is just money wasted in your case. I run 16Gb of Corsair vengeance ram. Good and reliable. Kingston ram is good too.

Power supplies are not a specialty for me. I run a corsair CX750M psu but alot of people say they are junk (I have had no issues). I hear XFX power supplies are decent, but i have no experience with them. Google it.
