Yes, with ease.

OP: Don't get a full tower unless you are going to utilize the space. A ordinary PC in a full tower looks silly.

The GTX 770 is a great card with extremely high performance, but that's far out of his pricepoint. He still needs to include a power supply into his build. :coffee:

He might be better off going with an AMD build if the PC will will be used for gaming and not heavy video/photo editing, could save a hundred or so on the CPU and put that towards a better GPU

Ehhhhhh.. I shouldn't be so biased but Intel's single core performance is so much better than AMD's, and the only AMD FX processor that has similar single core performance to Intel is the FX 9590, but that chip is priced quite high and runs very hot, considering it's stock speed is 5ghz.

For most games the CPU doesn't make much difference in performance. Myself I use the 3570K overclocked to 4.5ghz as I play games on the wii/gamecube emulator and AMD just sucks running that.
