I am looking to build a cheap pc for very casual gaming. I haven't bought anything else yet and so I have no concrete plans for the other components (other than a little overclocking, an ssd, and at least 8gb of RAM), so I just want advice on the best processor and video card combination, for no more than $200. I was considering the x4 860k or fx 6300, but for the GPU, I'm totally lost. I'm open to different processor suggestions due to my video card cluelessness. (I don't know where the money should be focused, in other words.)


Also, I wouldn't mind cheap mobo suggestions.

Thank you, but my standards are incredibly low. 720p Skyrim on medium at ~40fps would be a dream come true. 100% of my life's gaming so far has been on decent/mediocre laptops. I will consider that option though, having a better idea of what the 860k can handle.
