Lets take the hard drive out of the picture... As you can tell I am very new to this computer world just looking for the help, sorry for the confusion on the description.
Approximate Purchase Date: whenever I get the most amount of information.
Budget Range: 600 - 700$
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, and basic school needs (Powerpoint, MS Word)
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, Mouse, speakers, printer
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com
Country: (e.g.: India) we need to know where these parts are being assembled
Parts Preferences: Possibly an ASUS monitor. My Current case is actually broken -___- So I was thinking about a NZXT Phantom 410. Also for the
Hardrive:

Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Monitor Resolution: Let's just say I need to get a new one, I tried looking for it after your replies and couldn't find it. I was thinking about an ASUS.
Additional Comments: Would like a quiet PC -
well here is the best ASUS deal going
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236059
$170 + free shipping and a $20 MIR =$150
the plain Phantom 410 is $100 and $10 shipping
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146093
that only leaves you with about $440 for the rest of the build
hopefully you don't need the OS too -
Yea, if you need an OS too probably going to be hard to work something out in your budget considering the monitor, however that is a good choice. I helped a guy do a build off here via Skype and he got that monitor, he loves it.
This is my recommendation for a budget build, but with the other factors considered it puts you over the top:
CPU-$120- Phenom II 965
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103727
Motherboard- Asrock 970 $80
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157280
Video Card- Radeon 6870 $170
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102948
RAM-Gskill 2x4GB $47
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314
Power- Corsair CX500 $60
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139027&Tpk=cx500
HDD- WDC 500Gb -$80
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136769
CD/DVD Burner- $18
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106289
Total- $575 - This would be a very capable gaming computer if you could swing the budget, and its about as cheap as I would go to call a build a "gaming computer".
You could trim up on the video card a little bit by going with an older GTX 460 (these were over 200 dollars a couple years ago, they're a couple years old now, but stronger than my newer 550 TI)
