Ive been wanting to switch over to a gaming pc from console for a while now and a couple of my friends have bought pcs and I'm looking to build one because Ive read that its better to build your own pc. Ive done my research and am on a $600 budget can make it 700 if needed. Ive selected these parts ands want to know if the parts ive selected are ok or if I should choose a different part for a better gaming experience.

I changed out the dual core CPU and replaced it with a more powerful quad-core.

I also removed the 80+ 430W PSU and replaced it with a slightly more powerful and efficient 500W 80+ Bronze PSU.
