Few things swap out the power supply. You want with a high end gpu a 650 w unit to be safe that under load the power supply will not drop. Also use a cosair or other well tested bronze level power supply. Your case for the money for a gaming sstem is old case. Newer cases are black on black and have cut out for wires and CPU coolers.

You can always add for a few bucks blue led fans or nxzt sells one and two meter led strips and controller card for 13-18 online.
If you can pony up the 40. Get the 760 card it faster then the card you picked out.
Dont bother getting an SSD. They're too expensive for what they bring, instead get a better GPU. Get an AMD processor, they're more performance per £/$. Get a Corsair PSU, they're alot better, and reliable. You can just get two 4gb sticks of RAM for cheaper, brand really doesnt matter, its all the same. And for the GPU, get an AMD GPU, they're more user friendly and easier to overclock, you want the Highest number eg, 7790<7850<7970 etc... And if you're overclocking your CPU, you will want to get either a corsair H80i or H100i, if not dont get a "k" CPU.
