I agree with this except for the CPU, MOBO, and Video Card. Also, you didn't include a PSU.

I'd bump up to a FX8xxx series and a mobo to match plus a r9 280.  Cpu is about $150 on Newegg.  Mobo about $100. R9 280 is about 200 and the PSU. Which I'd recommend an EVGA would be around 110. Should still be within the $750 budget.

I didn't know until he edited his budget in. The PSU is part of the case

You got any requirements? Like size? Performance?

Pro Tip: Use your Xbox controller with your PC so you don't need a good keyboard/mouse until you got the money. If it's wireless, get an adapter and possibly hide it inside the case
