As this is my first PC, i'm pretty sure that it could be better. What can I change, but still remain around the price budget? Price budget = $587
Here are my components with its associated prices.

NZXT Phantom 240 ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - White - $70

Intel G3250 3.2GHz LGA 1150 Boxed Processor - $50 (CPU) *I chose this processor because I was thinking about upgrading it to a better cpu in the future.
LEPA MX-F1 N600-SB 600W ATX CrossFire Ready Power Supply- $40

WD Blue 1TB 7,200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive WD10EZEX - Bare Drive - $57

1. Get a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO instead.
2. Use the extra money from getting the 212 EVO to get 8GB of vengeance memory.

I forgot that Corsair's are more expensive. You can find G.skill 8GB for only $75.
