Hey guys looking to build a new PC for gaming, I play WoW and BF4 and other things in the future that come out hopefully. I just want the best possible gaming PC I can get for my buget, I could POSSIBLY go a LITTLE over 7 if I absolutely had to. I already have RAM but I need literally everything else, case / mobo / gpu / cpu / hdd (ssd) / psu. I have a 1080p monitor and keyboard / mouse already. Thanks!
Gaming PC build help $600-700 USD budget.

Here's the super cheapo AMD build if you're looking to go around $600 with the OS ... you will give up a little bit on the CPU but it will still be a nice machine.

A little room left for a CPU cooler if you want to overclock, and/or an SSD if you want that as well.

I'm thinking about just purchasing the PSU / GPU and just adding them to my PC that I'm currently using. Then upgrading the rest later, my APU is: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113360 and my MOBO is: http://us.msi.com/product/mb/A88XG43.html#hero-overview will that GPU / PSU work with that setup? As far as the correct cable connectors needed for the CPU on the MOBO etc. Thanks for all the answers so far guys.
What if I were to add a cheap SSD for a few games and my OS? What would be most compatible with the equipment listed above. Sorry for all the questions, I just want to make sure I'm getting everything ordered correctly so I don't have to RMA anything.

Any SSD will be compatible with your MoBo. I'd go for Samsung EVO for it's price/performance ratio.
