~$500 Rig, thoughts?

[CCap]

Hello:

 

Yesterday was my birthday, and since I already have a decent PC, I thought I'd build another for fun. I will more than likely end up selling it a friend that needs a new PC pretty bad, and I can profit $50. 

 

Essentially the budget is $500 or as close as I can get, and it will be used strictly for gaming. I'd like to make it the size of a LAN box, but I didn't really trust the reliability of FM2 ITX motherboards, let alone mATX. I'd like to have it built and have windows installed before this Thursday. (something to mention is that I already have an OS)

 

Here is what I was able to come up with, what would you change if this was you building it? I will more than likely order the PC before noon or so tomorrow, so let me know what you think soon .
