Hello everyone, I am looking to build a entry level computer into the gaming world. Right now I would like to start out at a $400-$450 range, although I can spend more.

P.S. Also I know not to buy a built pc because it will cost more, but I was offered a pc that I am unsure if it is good for its price ($350.)

- Cooler Master Elite 311 - Mid Tower Computer Case with Windowed Side Panel and Blue Trim

- INTEL Pentium G3220 Haswell 3.0GHz Dual-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics

- CRUCIAL Ballistix Sport 4GB DDR3 1600Mhz

- TOSHIBA 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA

- ASUS H81M-K LGA 1150 Intel H81 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

- EVGA Nvidia GTX 650 1GB

- Thermaltake TR2 TR-600 600W ATX12V v2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready

- WiFI Card 802.11 b/g/n WPS Ready

If there's a better computer build for around $450 I would appreciate if someone could help me. Thanks ^_^
