What resolution you plan on playing at 

and 400$ new parts aint going to work.

unless you plan on using only IGPU

[Swndlr]

I think what youre looking for is called a PS4

[Jacktastic-Mofo]

No, you either get performance or looks. It's very difficult to get both at this price point. However a Pentium G3258 and GTX 950 would give you some pretty decent results. Also before anyone says nooonoooo, go with a 860k just know that there isn't much of an upgrade path on FM2 / FM2+. At least on LGA1150 you can go up to a 4790k.

Pretty much as good as it gets for new. Look on EBay and Craigslist and see what you can do there.

Difference between a $400-$600 rig is night and day

APU will not give you any form of acceptable performance unless you're playing some pretty low end games.

r9 285s are criminally cheap
