CPU: Intel Pentium G620 2.6GHz Dual-Core Processor

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H61MA-D3V Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard

HDD: WD Caviar Blue 500GB 7200 RPM

Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer



So i am looking to add on these items :

Memory: Patriot Gamer 2 Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

GPU: PowerColor Radeon HD 6750 1GB Video Card

Case: NZXT Source Elite

Power Supply: Logisys 575W ATX12V Power Supply


So if anyone has any input on making this better but not more money because ive set my target for around 300 pound and i think these items are around that mark .. Thanks !
