So yeah, with the new Black Friday deals, I rounded up a really nice $400-500 gaming PC that I'm sure will probably be the final version. First off, I'll show you the specs, and I'll ask you if this will do really well.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/wgysjX

CPU: Intel Core i3 4150 ($84 used at Amazon)

Motherboard: Asrock H97M Anniversary ($69.99 at Newegg)
Ram: G. Skill Sniper Series 8GB DDR3-1600 ($64 at Newegg)

Storage: I have a 500GB drive I think I'll use until I save up a bit more money to get something faster.

GPU: GTX 670 (Sells for $125 on Ebay)
PSU: EVGA 500W 80+ Certified (Sells for $34 at Newegg)
Case: I have a decent case at the moment that I've had for a while, but in case I decide not to use it, I think I'll get a Nzxt Source 210 windowed version.

OS: Linux. I mainly want to use it because, A. I have an Xbox, so I really only need to play Minecraft. B. I really want to learn how to use it. 

The PCPartPicker link shows $700-800, but keep in mind I'm getting parts on sale, and the GTX 670 will be bought on Ebay for $300 cheaper.
