$400 Low Budget Gaming Pc.

[Xandred]

Hello, i want to get into pc gaming instead of getting a next gen console. I have a 400 dollar budget. The parts i allready have are monitor, os and a 500GB WD Blue hdd i bought 2 months ago for my current shitty pc that i am planing to reuse in this build. This build will be used for gaming first and foremost, but second thing important to me are emulators, the Dolphin and PCSx2. The resolution is 1440x900 on my 19inch monitor. Here is what i am thinking so far:

GPU- Radeon HD 7770 or R7 260x, the 260x is $130 in my country, while 7770 is $110, is 260x worth the price increase?
CPU- Either Pentium G2130 or Athlon II X4 750K, i guess Pentium would have advantage in emulators, but 750k has 4 threads and is a tad bit more expensive.
RAM- Kingstone HyperX 1333 Mhz 2x2 Gb. Shoud be enough, as 8 gigs are quite a bit more expensive, and just wont fit in budget.
Mobo- LGA1155/FM2 Mobo, probbaly something for 50 bucks, as i do not plan on doing any OC what so ever.
PSu- 500W psu, most likely Thermaltake or Chieftec for arround 30-40 bucks.
HDD- Allready have 500 gig one i am planing to reuse, WD Caviar Blue, 2 months old.
Chasis- Anything, 30 bucks and under, looks dont matter.
And a random dvd/cd rom for 20 bucks.

Would this be any good, and how would it match to Ps4? Also i will note again, i will not do any kind of overclocking.

I have an Asus 7770 and although the price to performance ratio is good and it tops 35 FPS on BF4 at high settings, you would benefit from getting a R7 260x for 20 bucks more.
As for the CPU, it's up to you but the Athlon II X4 will support your GPU a lot more and to be honest, the Pentium is moving on in time.
4GB's of memory should be enough to handle most games don't use any more than 4, unless you tend the play Skyrim with a load of mods. Just make sure your OS is 64-bit because 32-bits will eat up about 1.5GB's of RAM.
As for the rest of the build, it all looks fine. Just don't cheap out on the PSU.

In comparison, to the next gen consoles I think that you will have a lot better experience.
