Help me with my budget build!

Hello to all!

I'm working on my first gaming rig; it'll be a budget rig priced at or (preferably) under $550 without peripherals. Here's the build template I'm working with: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/uvVZ . The only thing set in stone is the 7850 and I'm 90% sure I want the i3 (no AMD because I dont want to overclock and may Hackintosh in the future), but everything else is from a recommended build I found on reddit.

What I basically want are components that are cheat but that aren't absolute garbage. What that means is the case should cost about $50 at max, the mobo ~$60, and the RAM to be fairly cheap as well (is ~$35 a good price point?).

All suggestions are welcome and appreciated! :)

Here you go:

Case
Antec Three Hundred Illusion Black Steel ATX Mid Tower $59
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

MOBO
ASRock H77M LGA 1155 Intel H77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel $69
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

RAM
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 $44
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Total: $162

Any huge advantages of the mobo you gave over the one I provided? I see there are a couple extra slots but I don't think I'll be using them.

The RAM looks good; thanks for the tip.

I think the case I have in the build list will suffice my needs, but thanks for the link to the other one anyways. :)
