It is similarly priced to your original build, but it performs much better:
-The FX-6300 can be overclocked and it performs much better than an i3.
-Cheaper ram, same performance.
-Larger HDD.
-Much stronger gpu.
-Better case at the same price.

I added NCIX to your retailer list because they have free shipping on orders over $100, it's a great website to order from.
