Ok so I have a recommendation for you.

I will be giving the basics so others can contribute better cases and peripherals.

You will want a 500 Watt Power supply. Now it comes to taste and how much energy you wish to use. Also you never want to skimp out on the PSU, as it will be the heart of the build. Without it, goodluck booting the PC up.

For CPU Recommendation, there are many different factors that come into play, as everything you purchase from here on out besides the case will depend on the CPU. The motherboard, GPU, ram, etc. Do you enjoy AMD or Intel. Sure AMD is cheap but they run hot and sometimes are not reliable. I however am a happy user of AMD and currently running a AMD FX-8350 Black edition 4.2 ghz 8 core processor. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

For a GPU, I will always recommend a GTX card from nvidia. For your budget, I recommend a GTX 750ti SC from EVGA. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] is very nice and runs many games at 1080p 50-60 FPS. I currently have a GTX 770 SC from EVGA [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] and love it. I was once a proud owner of the 750ti SC and it runs quietly, runs on a new architecture (Maxwell), and takes no additional power (Only uses the PCI slot power on the motherboard).

Motherboard will depend on what CPU you want to use. I cannot provide a selection because they depend on the chipset of the CPU.

I hope this somewhat helps you, please PM me if you need anything else.
