[Build Ready] Can you all look this over for a minute? Looking to get the most out of my ~$400 entry level PC.
The build. I want to use it for gaming at 1080 p and the usual office work-ish/media kind of stuff.

I already have a few parts off of the sales over the Black Friday/Cyber Monday period. I maintained the pricing that the Logical increments suggested while improving the parts so I thought why not? Anyway, I was looking for a few suggestions for what I can improve or how to better allocate my funds. I am already committed to the LGA1155 socket type so keep that in mind :) There is a VERY rough strict budget of $430 on this build. I have access to a Microcenter but not tigerdirect or fry's.
Thanks buildapc!
