I'm not going to get anything just yet, this is just what I plan to save for. Any suggestions?

---->I didn't put the computer case in there because I still can't find one, (don't know the right size) Any suggestions?

----> BTW: I only want to be able to run any Call of Duty (blackops I, II, MW3, etc.) at 50-60fps average (that's why I chose Intel Pentium), by that said, I don't care much about graphics, i'll be fine with no anti-liasing and medium settings.

$40 Motherboard : GIGABYTE GA-H61M-S1 LGA 1155 Intel H61 Micro ATX Intel

$65 Processor: Intel Pentium G2030 3.0ghz

$109 Graphics Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 7750 1gb GDDR5

$63 RAM: 2x2(4gb) DDR3 1333(PC3 10600)

$60 Storage: WD 1TB 7200 RPM Internal HDD

$60 Power Supply: Raidmax Hybrid 630W

Total:$397 (I don't know if Newegg charges shipping on EVERY item)

Questions I wants answered:
1) Does the rig sound good to you for the price? (note: I put no price limit, but I want it to be as cheap and good as possible for at least 60fps average at medium settings in COD with anti-liasin turned off)
2) What do you suggest?
3) I'm pretty sure I checked well but is every item compatible with each other? I'm new to this but I do have a lot of knowledge regarding parts and compatibility.
4)What are your opinions?

I would not recommend using a raidmax PSU. I know you want it cheap, but using a cheap PSU is like buying a new Ferrari and putting bald tires on it then going driving on a wet freeway. I have heard stories of Raidmax PSU's exploding, catching fire and ruining systems, as well as nearly burning a house down. Corsair's are a lot better and safer. It should all easily fit inside of this mid tower atx case: http://tinyurl.com/n4bry2u, that is one of the cheapest cases I could find for it, but I am a bit worried about it not having good airflow. Cheap computers are touchy, and going for something this cheap your honestly better off getting a PS4 if all you want to do is play games, because that at least is solid and it will run. If you can spend some extra money, I would get a rosewill challenger case and get 8 gigs of ram for the extra few dollars. For around $68 you can get 2x4GB sticks of ram. Also, that PSU is probably overkill. I would also highly recommend waiting so you have some extra dollars to spend on this so you can get an ATX motherboard, so there is room to upgrade in the future. If you want one PC and have no plan on upgrading, you are better off with this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113359
