Budget gaming pc? <700usd

[americafuckyeah]

I am new to building pcs but i have not much money for a nice rig. How does this look?(http://pcpartpicker.com/user/americafuckyeah/saved/Ffgv6h)

That looks pretty solid!

 

Only thing I would change is the CPU cooler. You don't need one since you can't overclock your CPU. Just use the stock cooler

I'd suggest a Hitachi or Western Digital hdd.Their failure rates are insanely slim and so, more reliable

Let me just have a try....Im really good at allocating money

[Xilarnis]

If I were you with this amount of money in my hands I would do something very stupid, but like the 9gag community says if it's working it isn't stupid, I wouldn't buy 8GB of ram, instead I would get 4GB(you can always get some more later), I would buy 512GB HDD(much cheaper and you can add another HDD later) and the last item I wouldn't buy is the case it self(you can easily make a case from plastic crates and zip ties and air flow isn't a priority with your budget + it would be free) with this you have saved 140$ to allocate for a better graphics card I would suggest R9 380 that would fit your price range perfectly

From your budget, I have put together a much better build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/WkYJsY

There. That is the best build you can get for under $700USD

Just go Hitachi. If you're really adamant on Seagate, then its to your own expense. 

@jkeasley's build is really solid, +1 for that.

Go for this instead. You won't lose any performance compared to the other build. You don't need a Z170 board, the video card I chose is a lot better and you don't need a CPU cooler.
