Budget gaming PC £400

[Comment Guy]

Hi. I'm looking at putting together a gaming pc in the 400 price range. £500 is the absolute upper limit. Price is for tower only, no peripherals I have kb/m and TV with hdmi.

So far I I have AMD a4 6300 CPU as it's cheap and won't need cooling. Thinking about nvidia gtx 960 or will that throttle the CPU? Ram: 8gb ddr3 1600mhz, 1tb hdd Seagate or western digital I don't know, any optical drive and the mobo F2A78M-D3H. I think 500w psu is enough for this but not sure what to buy. I think this will come under my price range so what should I swap out and where should I put the extra money? I don't think I will need a fancy case as this will be mid range but I need help with choosing for within my budget.

Thanks any comments are helpful.

Thanks for replies.

I have a copy of win 7. I'm currently using an ancient laptop. Most likely I will be playing stuff like skyrim witcher 3 fallout 4 arkham and most likely much older games like bioshock and half life 2. My TV is 1080x720 I think.

::edit:: this is my first time on on a desktop building and I know almost nothing about pc and pc gaming apart from what I've tried to research myself
