PC Rig Suggestion.

[ZrQi]

Hey guys, this is my first post on this forum. I am in a bit of a dilemma as to choosing my PC Rig. I'll be purchasing one in October and I can't understand jack. I only need a processor, motherboad, memory and video card with a total budget of 300-350 Dollars. I'll be using it for casual gaming and I already want to clear it, but I am fine with pretty barebones game quality, I just want to run it well. 720p Low at 30 fps on modern games for 2014-15 is what I need.
 

I have these options in mind but can't decide between either.

AMD A-Series A8-7600 Kaveri
2 X 4 Gb Corsair Vengeance, 1600mhz
AMD Radeon R7 240 2gb [Going to use this for Dual Graphics.]

Or

 

AMD FX-6300 Black Edition

2 X 4 Gb Corsair Vengeance, 1600mhz

Nvidia GT 730 4gb GDDR5

The mother board I buy will be based around either chipset and isn't a problem. Your help is appreciated and feel free to suggest a different configuration. Cheers.

You will also need a case, power supply, storage (Hard drive at this price point) and possibly an optical drive. (Monitor, keyboard, mouse and operating system as well.)

 

This is using your first parts option:

(Also, PCPartPicker.com is a wonderful tool to start looking at your options.)

 

For that extra $4.09, you can choose a different optical drive ... Lite-On has a slower drive for about $5 less.

I vote for 2 because it has upgrade options...
