Soooo...
If i go with AMD spec:
Proc: amd a8 5600k
MoBo: ?????? Can slot up 4 ram
Ram: 4gb ddr3 1600
Psu: fsp hexa 500w
Meaning that i don't even have to buy graphic card for this spec?
If you want cheap PC for gaming. You can play most games in lowered resolution and settings for max performance.
For example, AMD APUs are generally not recommended for full HD (1080p) gaming. However, they can achieve 60fps on most games with a much lowered resolution like 720p.
In this case, most of the games you listed like Dota2, LOL, WOW n CS:GO are not really graphic intensive. However, you must think of your upgrade options in the future so you have to try to at least build a PC to last 3-5 years, with some options to upgrade without replacing the whole lot.
Your monitor is one of the big items, buying a cheap 19.5" monitor or a 2nd hand monitor can really cut your costs down. Future, you can buy another bigger monitor and use you 19.5" as a 2nd monitor to game like a PC master race should.
CPU and MOBO is also a big cost to your setup. This is one of the things you can future proof, as these 2 can normally last more than 5 years if it is not the cheapest one. Games these days are also less CPU intensive and more GPU intensive. Either way, these 2 should complement your future upgrades.
Casing is a cost you should not spend much on with a limited budget, I would suggest you buy a casing that comes bundled with a 500W PSU to save cost. You aren't exactly building a powerhouse gaming machine, so these items can be bundled until future upgrade can replace them.
RAM can be upgraded or added later, so just get 1 piece of RAM is sufficient. Preferably a 4GB one, as these days it's considered the minimum.
Graphic cards is where the main objective of your GAMING machine is. You want to play games? Then GPU should be your main bulk of your budget.
HDD should just get the minimum you need, though the price diff between a 500GB and a 1TB these days is very small.
Here is my 720p gaming rig at $1602;(prices from Viewnet, availability not confirmed)
GPU for RM369 the Gigabyte 7770 OC because it can play Metro:Last Light at 720p with lowered settings at 60FPS and BF4 at 1080 with low settings at 60FPS. That is 1 awesome card for it's price.
CPU for RM349 the Intel i3 4130 (1150) because it is more than enough for gaming and will last you last least 3 years of personal computing or more.
MOBO for RM179 the Asrock H81M-DGS simply because it is the cheapest socket 1150 board and also comes with 2x SATA 3 and 2x USB 3 ports.
RAM for RM119 4GB Kingston RAM
HDD for RM189 1TB WD
Case for RM69 ATX casing (cap ayam) Cheap casing for a cheap build. It's what inside that counts.
PSU for RM49 500W (cap ayam) Cheapest 500W juice. Although I always recommend better PSUs with better brands, most of these cap ayam do the job well enough as long as you don't tax it so much. Upgrade this when you plan to upgrade your rig.
Monitor for RM279 AOC E2050SW (max res 1600x900) because its cheap but it's not 1080p monitor that you don't need. You game with lower resolution simply because your rig is designed for it. Once you plan to game on higher resolution in the future with better graphic card, upgrade to a new monitor and use this as your secondary.
Others peripherals like DVD drive, power extension cord, cheap ass speakers etc. will cost about RM100+ if you need it.
