[theZomgtiger]

Can you guys tell me what you think of this $300-$400 budget build?

Dont need a monitor or keyboard or a mouse. Still need OS

He just wants to play video games on it. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Rather get the AMD HD7770.

After rebate its 100$ on newegg.

Here is a comparison. Its clearly much faster and uses less power.

BUT depending on which games he wants to play yopu may want to get a cheaper CPU and a better Graphics card.

Minor edits
bumped up MB to get USB3
Grabbed a 650ti for a bit more
changed to a cheaper case as you want the case to take up as little budget as possible in this budget build, grabbing a cheaper one would be a good idea (aim for about 10% of total cost)
The FX6300 will out perform the 8120 since its the newer generation
