This is my first gaming pc so I was hoping y'all could help me since I know nothing of computers. I already have a monitor,speakers,keyboard and mouse from my last computer so no need to add that to the budget.

What resolution will you be playing at? When you factor in $100 for the OS, that leaves you with $350 for the PC, which won't make for a good gaming PC. Also what games do you plan to play, and what graphic settings are you aiming for?

Thermaltake TR2 <---- Power Supply ~$45
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750Ti <---- Video Card $140
COUGAR Spike Computer Case <---- Case $35

Operating System
Disk = $100
ISO = ~$60

You might want to consider getting the ISO off of the Windows Website since that fits your budget. 2 dollars over your budget for the components is not really that bad! In fact I could loan ya two bucks haha. Just kidding. The OS is and extra $60-100 depending on which you choose.
