Restoring old PC

[Kinda Bottlenecked]

So my gaming laptop that I gave my family to use is probably dying (No display. Screen flickers.) 

 

So I'd figure that I would rebuild my old family PC. 

 

Managed to salvage many parts from the old PC and the laptop so it left me with only needing to buy a new...

PSU, RAM and GPU. 

 

So currently I have (Salvaged): 

 

Mobo: Acer h67h2-AD  (link (pics), Motherboard manual)

CPU: Intel i5 2320 

SSD: Crucial MX-100

HDD: Slim 2.5 inch 1TB 

OS: Win 7 

 

What I planned to buy:

 

GPU: Sapphire dual-x R7 265                       $212 SGD

PSU: Corsair CX430M                                    $  75 SGD 

RAM: G.SkillRipJawsX 1333mhz (1x8GB)  $108 SGD

 

Total: $390 SGD

 

All salvaged parts are working and have been tested on the PC's old 220w psu and unknown 4GB ram. 

The resolution at which this pc will be running at is 768p since we're also using its old monitor.

 

The case that I'll be throwing the build into is this old Acer aspire m1610 case: 

(Not my pics)

 

My budget is $400 SGD and I'll be buying my items from here 

This build will mainly be used to watch movies and play games (BF3, goat simulator) 

I'd like to get some suggestions on the parts I picked. 

I'm also a little concern on whether the motherboard will be able to support those parts.

R7 265 should be upgraded to this R9 270x. Its cheaper and the performance will piss all over your R7. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127761

Try to get two 4gig ram sticks too, dual channel could help, and it looks like your MoBo supports it (I have not gone too in-depth into the manual)

Its about a hundred more than the 265 but only %15~10 more powerful. I'm not sure if the cost is worth it

 

Oh and from the mobo manual its seems that its using pci-e 2.0 as well

R9 270, without the "x"?

That would be $282 for the msi variant.

The 265 is surprisingly powerful though. Almost 270 performance  http://www.anandtech.com/show/7754/the-amd-radeon-r7-265-r7-260-review-feat-sapphire-asus/10

I feel like a complete idiot. I was looking at the wrong currency. My bad.

Naw man its okay. Was originally looking at a 750 ti but I saw that the r7 265 was kicking its ass in majority of 

the benchmarks.
