Hoping to play BF4, COD: Advanced Warfare, LoL, APB Reloaded and CSGO mainly so keep that in mind. Trying to keep it around ~550 if possible.

Processor: Intel Pentium G3258 (Hoping to overclock to ~4.0-4.3 GHZ)

Graphics Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti Superclocked 2GB

Motherboard: Gigabyte LGA 1150 Intel H81 USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel MOBO

Case: Rosewill CHALLENGER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower

Power Supply: Rosewill Stallion 500W ATX12v

HDD: Western Digital 500GB

RAM: HyperX Fury Red Series (2 X 4GB) 240-PIN DDR3 1866

So tell me! What can I improve, and what kind of performance am I settling for here.

swap the h81 mb out with a h97 mb. the h97 will let you drop in any of the newer cpu from intel with just a bios update. swap the power supply you have now with the evga 600b. it a better unit. the gsill aries 1866 ram is on sale on parts picker for 72.00. better brand of ram.
