With that case it barely leaves you enough for a motherboard and CPU, nevermind HDD, GPU, RAM or PSU.

Try upping your budget to at least R5000... You might get an entry level gaming PC for that price.
 
Will have to go 2nd hand with that budget. Try Carbonite.co.za

You must be joking. You have a budget of only R3.5k and you're demanding a R700+ case? You can barely buy a workstation for that kind of money, never mind a gaming PC.

As mentioned above, your only hope is the secondhand market. Forget about case preferences and take what you can get. Carbonite is a good place to look.
 
AMD A6-6400K @ R820
MSI A78M-E35 mATX @ R765
Crucial Ballistix 4GB DDR3-1866 CL10 @ R593
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM @ R671
LG DVD-RW GH24NS95 @ R184
Thermaltake V2S with 350W PSU @ R480
Total: R3513

That'll be good enough for *most things* at 720p with medium settings. Most MOBAs and F2P games out there will run at pretty high quality settings. Stretching to R4000, I'd recommend that you get another stick of the Crucial RAM, APUs run best in dual-channel mode thanks to the larger amount of memory bandwidth available. R4500 would be ideal to start off with, but that will really only net you better graphics, not substantially better CPU performance.

Take your money and go browse the Carbonite forum ads for a secondhand rig. Any new PC in that price range will be very weak.

Do you know how to assemble a PC?

Find a way to convince, blackmail, extort your parents for some more money...

Just kidding, My suggestion to you would be to save that money up, or start buying bit by bit, and over, say 6 months you can have a fairly decent system.
 
This acc was not always mine it was a friends he gave it to me
So any other posts are not mine
