Check out my $650 build here:
http://www.squidoo.com/electronicandmore#module14669582...
No HDD, Case, RAM or Burner so (-155)
Total: $465
You get a the FX-6300 which is a pretty solid chip already, better than the i3 3220 which is what you can afford at this budget, you can overclock it and it's better at multi-thread and pretty similar at gaming. Most important is the GPU in gaming, not the CPU. With this affordable CPU, you can also pick up the 7870 with a small budget which is pretty sweet.

Depends on the game, but roughly, for graphically intensive ones at 1080P, they are both the same. Generally a better GPU is better. I'd keep the FX-6300 and try and move up to the 7950 if you can:

After rebate, it puts you at about $50 more than if you got the 7870 which would leave you with a total of a $510 which is within your budget but with a MUCH MUCH better GPU.
