In an AMD build, you save on the CPU to spend more on your GPU. 

 

The build @Aniallaion has is good, except that I would probably swap out the PSU (you only need about a 500-600W PSU) and get an SSD (The MX100 is a great choice).

If you spend more on the GPU, then it will be bottleneck by your CPU. 

A core i3 will actually preform better.

You only need a 500W, but the TruePower Classic 750W is an absolute steal for $50. You're getting a Seasonic S12G for less then half the regular price.

 

Also SP610/SP900 are better then MX100 and often cheaper.

Uh... does it HAVE to be an AMD CPU? I mean, the GPU is going to be AMD for sure, but the cpu.... can you go intel plz?

 

Also, NZXT is very good.

For this build would you recommend a Intel core i3 or i5 ?

It went 10$ over budget, but it includes a windows copy. You could save a few dollars with a cheaper case. If you don't need windows, we can buff the build further.

Hmm... I don't know if alternate systems are good for gaming, so I can't recommend that.

 

But, I'd change the CPU to a faster one, get a better GPU and 80+ Bronze Psu. Do note, that I only changed the CPU because we had some extra money to burn. I also changed the case (for no reason), but the versa h21 is also good.
