I would go with an i3-4150

And an ATX 1150 H87 Motherboard with USB 3.0

[vern021]

maybe an 860k and a 270 can fit in your budget. Will post a build in a few mins.

 

*Note: change your title because you need to brace yourself, Intel vs. AMD arguments are coming.

Though I would listen to @djdwosk97

[sqwidee]

Get ready for a flame war over which manufacturer is better

 

I prefer Intel because of what you get for the price. you might be dropping over $200 for a good i5, but CPU horsepower is worth it.

in the end it's up to the features you want and how much you're willing to pay for it. An Intel i5 for gaming is still pretty good right now, but the i7's hyperthreading might be something you want if you do lots of multitasking.

[vern021]

wait going to edit some more

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/sqsdgs

 

Just go with @djdwosk97's build.

Is this where I go to watch the battle? *grabs popcorn*

It depends on what kind of system you want to build. I mainly suggest amd for budget builds since the price/performance ratio is better than intel.

which one works better with intel?

radeon or nvidia?

Both work equally well. But AMD is better price/performance.

The one I suggested is still the best starting point. 

If you can throw more money in, then get a better ssd, an R9 290, a 750w PSU, a better motherboard (capable of support XFIRE), THEN a better case.
