Or even i5 2400, depending a little bit on the prices. Currently the sale at newegg makes i5 2500 better choice, but if the difference is $5-10 it's ok to go higher anything more, stick to the i5 2400.

I would get PC power and cooling Silencer Mark II 650W which is still on sale until the 28th.
$69.99 ( with CC before $20 MIR )

And Antec 300 Illusion for case on sale until the 28th. $44.99 ( with CC )

G.SKILL NS 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) $25.99
Should work ok for memory, it is 1.5V.

Also if you still have money left. Change the HDD to Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB $59.99
Faster and more reliable.

MSI GPU's have been working great for me.
