My friend upgraded his computer and gave me his parts, which has inspired me to build a new computer. Unlike my friend I am not fortunate enough to build a high end gaming computer. However I do enjoy playing lots of games, like League, WoW, batmat, BF 3 etc.. my laptop is in disrepair. I have 400$ and a few components I will list what I have hear was hoping you all could help me :) 

Case- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

PSU- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

GPU- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

So is it worth me using this stuff or trying a new build?

Thanks

The PSU, case and GPU will still work fine and provide a good gaming experience.

Actually didn't check the price of 8320, at that price you could just upgrade mine with the FX 8320 and call it a day :)
