So basically my budget is $400 after selling my Xbox One. I can easily get a 280x, HD 7970, 290 around where I live for $150. The ram, storage and case is no problem because I have that covered.
 
$250 for cpu , mb and power supply ?

but as mentioned earlier it will depend on the parts you already have .
For an OS you could use Win 10 preview for a few months at least
