super dooper budget pc

[ame]

sup folks. been planning to build myself a new system, also am on a tight budget. 

i've decided to go with gtx 760 for gpu, apart from that and windows license i will have about 200-300 USD left for everything else.

i do not need an ssd, 500 gb hard drive will suffice. 

i do want that system to be overclockable. 

plz halp squeeze max performance out of this budget. what CPU, PSU, mobo, case and else should i get?

thanks in advance, i know you're all awesome

eastern europe, and my full budget is about 300 USD + about 80 more bucks i plan to spend on gtx 760 that i found on eBay. 

edit: to be more precise, the country is Republic of Georgia. shipping is not an issue though, anything that ships to US i can get shipped here through third-party shipping services.

Maybe a little but not much, i recommend picking up something like a hyper 212 evo when you have an extra 30 bucks

That build would be fine if you don't mind getting a new CPU and MOBO when you want to upgrade. Budget systems really aren't worth it in the long run if you need to scrap basically the whole build to upgrade. If you're serious about being a PC gamer, it's worth it to wait.

i'd love to wait and think it'd be a good idea too, but i won't be able to save enough money bc reasons. besides, i really want to replace the toaster that i currently game on as soon as possible. thanks for advice though!
