Okay so, I have a motherboard and processor already, and I'm looking to just build around it cheaply.. I don't have much money to drop on a computer, but I have a little bit.

Motherboard: MSI 970 GAMING ATX AM3+
Processor: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core

I don't think a case really matters too much for this small scale budget build.

But I would need:
Tower - case
Graphics card
16gb memory
Power supply
HDD

I would Like to keep it under $300 for these 4 parts.. Can it be done?

Ultimate goal is to game.. Newer COD's / cs:go / the division etc.

I've always been use to playing on Low settings, and I'm okay with that :P

But I have $300 spare, can I build a decent pc for under it?

Like is that 300 CAD / USD / EUR? etc

I mean at 300$ it won't get better.
Plus your cpu is shit and anything better in gpu department would only get bottle neck'd more.

8gb is fine especially since your on low settings and those games are not to demanding.
