in Budget.
 
CPU & motherboard - you may be able to get an i5-4xxx and H97 motherboard for the same price as the FX and MSI board. Better performance and much lower heat

Power Supply - get antec or seasonic if you can. The CX600 is ok, but the others are better.

Everything else looks fine :)
 


Oh, thanks. I'm getting an i5 and an H97 then :)
