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?
5) Any good cases that are pretty cheap that will fit this??

To answer your questions:

1. For your budget it's pretty decent - you might want to think about increasing your budget to include an FX-6350, 8GB RAM, and a GTX 750TI. That will be a better performer.
2. Ditch the PSU - Raidmax PSUs are among the absolute worst on the market. You want at least a Seasonic S12 series or an XFX Pro series.
3. Any kind of budget you should get the most recent hardware you can to ensure longevity. Get a H81 motherboard and a Pentium G3430 instead - it will be much faster.
4. The Radeon 7750 is a decent card for the budget but if you can increase your budget a GTX 750TI will be far better.
5. Depends on what form factor you want and how much you want to spend.

Can you please elaborate what you mean by that? o_O
 
the h61 chipset was released when the pentium g 600/800 series were released. although the cpu you linked IS compatible with it, the bios may not know what that chip is (depending on the bios version that the board is shipped with).

the pentium g2030 is a generation newer than the h61 chipset, so a b75 board would be a safer bet.

Wow, thanks :) will the 8gb really be neccesary though? I also plan to use it for video editing in the future which I forgot to add.. Not heavy video editing, just After-effects and such. But gaming too obvs.
