A friend of mine wants a gaming Pc for around $300 that he can upgrade around christmas time, I was thinking he could add more RAM, maybe a 7770, and better power supply. and I came up with a build. I was on newegg browsing today and I found a kit with components in it. They are simmiler builds, which one is better for the price?

APU: AMD A10-5800K 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor

Motherboard: MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 Micro ATX FM2 Motherboard

RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

Storage: Seagate Barracuda 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Case: Thermaltake VL80001W2Z ATX Mid Tower Case

Power Supply: Logisys 480W 20/24-pin ATX Power Supply (Silver)

The newegg one is on a good sale. But I'm still not sure. The newegg one is $299.99, and mine is $315.
