Would this be a good budget gaming computer?

[Caddellca]

Alright so I was creating a budget gaming build. Like under 500. Maybe a little bit over that. It is straight up only for gaming and basic computing. Like Office suite. and Some small stuff like that. It isn't meant for Bf3 on ultra. It is just a casual gaming computer for people who don't mind medium settings. Thats where the problem comes in. I want to know if my build idea will be able to handle those things. Also I am new here and am not 100% i should be posting about this in this category. However any help is appreciated.

First the case: Raidmax Tornado ATX-238WR

Processor: I was originally going to go with the AMD Phenom II X4 but that is an AM3 socket and I want an AM3+ so I am going to go with the AMD FX-4300 Vishera

Please tell me what you think and maybe some improvements. Whatever you may do, do not suggest any intel stuff. I prefer AMD. Thanks

If you are focused on an AMD build then yea its fine apart from that PSU, the two year warranty is a bit of a giveaway!

The 970 Extreme4 is only $10 more, but won't really make much difference to your set up..

Not a big fan of that case either, something like this would be better for a budget build:

The 7770 is great for low end gaming
