I need a new PC

[Hobo]

Alright, I need a new desktop PC. My current laptop specs are:
2.20Ghz dual core Intel Pentium B960 with Intel HD 3000 graphics
8 GB DDR3 RAM (upgraded from 4GB)
320GB HDD
Windows 7 64 bit

It's good for a school laptop and can play a few games but there are so many that it can't run.

I want to build a PC for a relatively cheap price, hopefully under $400. I'd love for it to be able to run most games at decent FPS. Games like GTA IV (I can almost run this now), Arma II, Borderlands, Fallout 3, Saints Row 3, Just Cause 2. Things like that.

I've been looking at AMD for a processor since it's cheap and seems decent.
I'd like a graphics card with at least 1GB of vRam.
RAM is cheap so I'd get 8 or more GB of that.
A 500GB HDD would be plenty for me. I have a few external drives too.
A PSU since mine is old and only 300W
Then I just need a motherboard to put everything together.

I have a case and a DVD drive. I'll also need to buy Windows 7 because I hate Windows 8 

What do you guys suggest for parts? I'd prefer to use http://www.newegg.com/ to buy everything.

And someone that has "a life" will surelly give you 1600E for an used PC.
You'll be lucky if a kid that has been born on moneys will buy it, but a normal guy won't buy it.

With 1600E you can have a decent vacance in Dubai lol .

That looks pretty decent after I changed a few things around, I'll keep that as a back up. Thank you.

Dont get Vinny's suggestion. All AMD bulldozer processors are bullshit. They lack so many IPCs that you'll feel like you're running a Sempron single core. Get a Vishera.

Or if you really wanna save money while being able to play games, get a Trinity or Richland APU processor. The IGP isnt bad at all. I will still make you a suggestion list with a dedicated graphics card.
