700$ -800 $ build

For light gaming, light design, my current pc is round 5-6 years old n isnt worth playing round with anymore. suggestions? Ideas?
 
Solution
That is an all around solid build for it's intentions. Not sure if a $30 sound card will be much better than onboard. I personally hate windows 8. anything. I would be great if you could slip an ssd in there for the os! Nice job...
