You're talking about OCing the 8320, but your build has a 6300... are you thinking a CPU upgrade down the track?

I've scraped together an absolute minimum i3 build, and swapped out your GPU for the much faster RX 470 4GB. It comes in at $30 over your current build, but will be a far better gaming rig.

If your budget is absolutely fixed, I would keep the i3 and swap back in your 950 again.

That PSU I put in saves you $15 and is higher quality. I realise it's below the "required" 500W, but pairing it with an i3 you will be fine. You'll just have to turn of the C6/7 sleep states in the BIOS. A better PSU would be better, but clearly your budget is tight, and this will do the job.
