Budget build for 380$

[Maciej Lacki]

Hi
I was asked to assemble components for someone who is on really tight budget. He wants to occasionally play some games, nothing too fancy or demanding, and other than that basic web browsing and youtube.

• 
  Intel Pentium G3258 3.2GHz Dual-Core Processor
  ASRock B85M-HDS Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
  Asus Radeon R7 260X 2GB Video Card
  Fractal Design Core 1000 USB 3.0 MicroATX Mid Tower Case
  Corsair CSM 450W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

Total: $382.31

I did my research but I would really appreciate some feedback. I want to make sure that this build will work well for everyday use, as well as some moderate gaming.

Thanks

Ram,HD?

What about for storage? For $380 it can play games on medium-high, and an Intel Pentium is a great CPU for the price, same with an R7 260X. For a web-browsing machine it should be quick and responsive, and it should play videos very smoothly (Depending on internet of course). You also need RAM, which is another vital component.
