Is this a decent budget build?

[Liquicool]

So, I've been researching parts for a while now, and I think I finally have the right ones. I will mainly be using this PC for gaming, internet surfing and school work. Games that I will be playing: BF3/4, Crysis 3, WoW, Sky rim, Minecraft, and a few others. I don't plan to play them on ultra, but hopefully medium.

Budget is around $600 dollars. I would also like to have a better case than the one I chose, any suggestions?
