I am on a strict budget of $300 and have been looking for a cheap solution for a medium gaming computer. I am not the best at computers, (This is going to be the first time building one) and need a bit of help/suggestions. Is this build good or at least decent? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/7xpwdC
any suggestions to add or change anything is appreciated (as long as it doesn't go over my strict budget of $300.)

This would be good for 720p, but barely mediocre at 1080p
