I've been outta the loop with current hardware. I'm trying to build a $500-700 light gaming PC that I will hook up to my TV. I'm going to be using a small case, most likely mATX or mini-ITX motherboard. It'll be mainly used to watch downloaded movies and browser internet but I also want the flexibility to do some 1080p first person shooter gaming. What route should I go with my budget? AMD seems to offer more value now and in particular it seems the FX-6300 is a good bang/buck.

Any recommendations on hardware? The bitfenix phenom case looks like a good choice for me right now. Looking to keep it within that size. Don't need much storage as I have an external hard drive. Possibly a 120GB SSD main drive should be good
