$300 simply can't be done with the hard drive and RAM prices the way they are. $450 would be stretching it but you won't be able to play games at any sort of resolution. Maybe go with an AMD APU build and add a GPU when you can afford it:

jcman, replace with( something surpass everything yours )
Processor - i5 3470, $149 - microcenter #save $50#
Motherboard - asrock z77 pro3, $89 - microcenter #save $50#
GPU - gtx 660, about $200 surpass 7870
(asus 660 DCU II $190)
The motherboard let you overclock non-k processor by 300-400 MHz from turbo boost clock, quite good and bargain.

Gaming PC's are based more around the GPU than the CPU. Stick with the A10 if you can and upgrade the 560 ti up a little. If you must, go back to the A6
