Taking the above build into consideration, I've made some changes to make it more gaming orientated and with higher quality parts:

Had to drop down to the i3 for budget, but that's alright - they're amazing little gaming chips. The motherboard is of H97 chipset, a vastly better choice for the Core series compared to the H81, used by OEM manufacturers for Pentium and Celeron builds. The RAM is dual channel rather than single channel, giving a slight speed boost. The money saved on the processor has been put towards the graphics card. The GTX 960 is vastly better than the GTX 750Ti, it's also a newer card. Got you the white Prodigy M like you asked, and a power supply with a wattage more suited to the build.
