Hello everyone. I am looking to build my first rig with monitor for casual use and some low end gaming for under £600
I have done a little research for parts I need.
Here goes:
AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor (£82.79)
Zalman CNPS7000C-AlCu Ball Bearing CPU Cooler (Incase I want to OC) (£13.96)
ASRock 970 Extreme3 ATX AM3+ Motherboard (£66.66)
Patriot Signature 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1333 Memory (£37.15)
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£43.19)
Sapphire Radeon HD 7750 1GB Video Card (£73.73)
TP-Link TL-WN723N 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 Wi-Fi Adapter (£4.79)
Cooler Master Elite 430 ATX Mid Tower Case (£35)
Corsair Builder 430W 80 PLUS Certified ATX12V Power Supply (£36.68)
Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer (£13.15)
LG IPS224V-PN 21.5" Monitor (£99.99)
Total : £507.10

Was wondering if this would do the job of casual use but being on 24/7 and some low end gaming ? Need the rig to be quick and responsive.
Please suggest things I need to change ! Also if you find anything cheaper please tell me. I don't need branded items or anything fancy :p 
Thank you.

swap the GPU for something stronger, like an 7850/7870 - GTX 650 TI BOOST and you have a nice system there.

and up the PSU to 500w just in case.

edit : nevermind, since you dont use it for gaming.
