this system should be a hybrid crossfire, with kaveri technology they can work with R7 240 & R7 250 with ddr3/ddr5 memmory. I picked r7 250 for maximum potential hybrid crossfire, I changed your ram in to 1600mhz, you really cant see their difference in this low type of rig, I picked antec vp 450 for hi quality atx standard, I picked the cm haf case for the best airflow case on your budget

Thank you Patrich for suggesting the r7 250 I went with the ddr5 version

Nate Helms :

razer got better system than mine I just enhanced your hybrid crossfire thoughts.
but if you still want it. its still fine.
