Got a little birthday money, and im looking to do a very budget build. I dont care if its intel or AMD or Nvidia, as long as its under my budget of $320. I already have a hard drive with windows 8.1, and i would prefer if the case has room for a standard optical drive. Thanks :3 I live in the us and I
already have all of the peripherals, so all i need is the system.
Also i probally should have mentioned that i will be doing some mid level gaming (Gmod, gta, borderlands, etc) and i plan to be doing some heavier gaming later so a strong graphics card would be preffered.

Just an FYI that Hard drive with windows 8 wont do anything on your new system till you do a reinstall, so do you have the disc and license or is it an OEM install? because you may end up needing to buy a new OS if thats the case.
