Hello everyone, I have been wanting to build a pc for gaming but unfortunately I have to stick to a $550 dollar budget. I am not good at knowing what parts to get in order to have max performance for gaming. If anyone could help it would be much appreciated. I was just going to buy a built pc but I think I could get better performance for the same price. So if anyone is willing to help me out, that would be awesome! Thanks in advance.
New Computer Build for $550! Need help!

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/sv2GdC Here's a good budget build, I am not sure if you need monitors or OS or keyboard and mouse...If you don't need that stuff then you can get a R9 270x with the left over money
EDIT: Or get a AMD FX 8320 CPU

Under budget with marginal performance increase over the previous. This should play most games adequately at 1080p. Quite decently at 720p
