Doesn't look to me like your missing any hardware out. Should be a fairly good improvement over your current sig rig.

AS for the case; I'd recommend a HAF 932 or CM Storm Scout. Good luck with the build

 

[reezin14]

Is the $250 your budget for the case?If so I would have to agree with Daney the Storm Scout is a great case imo,and I would take a look at the HAF 922.

 

[SporkofdooM]

My vote is on the Storm Scout, it's a pretty sweet case

 

[ColdRush]

I have a 50$ budget for the case.

I was going to say the case I got, but it is more there. How about this?

I found this:http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-...0115643&sr=1-5

It's cheap, and I like how it looks. It will fit the mobo correct?

The one thing I regret about my first build was being too skimpy on the graphics and the RAM. So dont forget about those. I would assume you could put 4GB in instead of 2GB. And maybe go with the GTX 260.

I already bought the graphics and ram. I just purchased the case too. Thanks.

Taking a 2nd look, you want a better PSU.

Actually, I'm going to PM you.

that is your motherboard; why not go am3 motherboard and ddr3 ram
it may limit your OC on your chip, and has no potential to unlock

if you want to stay on a budget, i'll sell you a x2 5400+ black edition CPU
that way the chip won't go to waste!
