I have an old desktop that I was hoping to upgrade to a gaming worthy desktop. I have included a basic parts list of what I have now and a list of what I hope to have after this renovation. If you could recommend some parts that would be great. Please bear with me, I have no knowledge on computers and this was built by a friend. Thanks for all the help! (trying to keep the price tag below $600)
What I have now-

1x GIGABYTE GA-P55M-UD2 LGA 1156 Intel P55 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Here are the specifications I would like to have, sorry if its vague.
16 gigs of RAM
1 TB hard-drive
3.8+ ghz processor
Nice graphics card for the money
Lots of 3.0/2.0 USB ports
Attractive, LED, see through case
