keep in mind that you need an aftermarket cooler when you'll want to overclock, like the cooler master hyper 212 evo.


Or if you don't plan to oc the cpu, it leaves a margin for a better gpu :

I want a solid state drive to be included

 

[djangoringo]

For gaming you need a much better card, see my suggestions, it fits an i5+660 ti with a good monitor, only the ssd, but with such a budget, get the ssd latter, what matter most is the gpu and cpu, if you can have a good cpu like the i5 and a good gpu with ssd then fine, but do not downgrade the cpu or gpu, get the ssd latter.
Also do not skimp on the psu, get a separate one, those psus that come with the case, are crap.
The 650 gtx is not good enough for 1080p.

 

[jejames2005]

OK good deal

a bit over but well worth it.

a few cons for this build though is
-no additional memory(besides replacement to a 16GB version) of course this can be fixed by getting a mobo with 4 DIMM slots
-no SLI/CFX the PSU is only 550W and the mobo can't do SLI/CFX
-no overclocking(you do not really need to OC anyways unless you are SLI/CFXing)
-a bit over budget

some pros though
-strong GPU(what you really want to have inside a gaming machine anyways)
-SSD not the best SSD but will make your performance a whole lot smoother
