Need help with part selection

[Bowman731]

Hello I currently already have my cpu, I have a amd 8120 WITH NO cpu cooler. I also have a 500w power supply lying around and a 1tb hard drive. I kinda have a r7 360 in mind for my gpu, i currently are playing games like minecraft to saintrows 3, i would like to expand into arma and dayz. I want to spend as little as possible i have around 300 to 400 for the rest of the parts

 

 

 

I am also in canada

A 380 is the highest I would go with that cpu

 

EDIT: I put it what I feel like is a better case than what I had.

What model and OEM is your PSU?

[Bowman731]

So you need a:

 

1. CPU cooler

2. GPU

3. case

4. motherboard

5. RAM

6. SSD (I don't care if you have an HDD everyone NEEDS an SSD these days)

 

 correct?
