Hello, i'm looking into buying my first gaming PC, and i'm new to this. Basically, I'm on a $460 budget for the following parts: Graphics card, motherboard, CPU, ram, Power source, and tower. i Have everything else i need. i'm not even sure where to start which is why i'm here, i'm just looking for the best gaming experience in my price range. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated, thank you!
 
What sort of games are you playing? Here is the build I would do:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

CPU: Intel Core i3-3220 3.3GHz Dual-Core Processor ($119.99 @ NCIX US)
Motherboard: ASRock H77 Pro4/MVP ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($69.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: Corsair 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR3-1333 Memory ($17.99 @ Newegg)
Video Card: Gigabyte Radeon HD 7770 1GB Video Card ($119.98 @ NCIX US)
Case: NZXT Source 210 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case ($45.98 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: Corsair Builder 430W 80 PLUS Certified ATX12V Power Supply ($24.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $398.92
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

Saves you some money. There's probably other builds you can do. It really depends on the games you are playing and whether they are processor dependent or not.
