New build, your thoughts?

[Styl]

I'm building a new computer to replace my 4+ year old build, just wanted some opinions on my choices and any recommendations for better components if necessary/possible in my budget.

What are you going to use the PC for? Gaming/Multimedia.

How much is your budget? $550.

Where are you located? United States.

Are you willing to buy online? Yes. Preferably Newegg.

Are you going to re-use any parts from an earlier build? Yes. Hard drives, DVD/CD burner, OS, peripherals.

Have you already bought any parts? No.

Case: Rosewill Blackbone Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case $39.99

MB: ASRock H67M (B3) LGA 1155 Intel H67 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard $79.99

CPU: Intel Core i5-2400 $189.99

GPU: SAPPHIRE 100315L Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity $149.99

PSU: RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-530SS 530W ATX12V V2.2/ EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Modular Power Supply $39.99

RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL $41.99

Total cost (including instant discounts and promo codes, not including mail-in-rebates): $526.94 - Including MiR: $511.94

My current build has an AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ @ 3.10 GHz, Raedon HD 4850 1GB, and 4GB of RAM. I'm going to be giving this to my sister once I build my new one since her laptop died, so any recommendations for a new Hard Drive and Mouse+Keyboard under $100 would be great as well.

Thanks!

Looks good to me.

Don't forget about the OS.

I'd probably get a different power supply. Raidmax is not exactly one of the better brands.

I'd go with one of these instead:
Antec VP-450 450W ATX 12V v2.3 Power Supply = $40 (FSP built, not top of the line but currently one of the best budget PSUs out there)
ENERMAX Tomahawk ETK500AWT 500W = $70 {$50 after rebate}
PC Power and Cooling Silencer MK III 500W Modular 80PLUS Bronze Power Supply = $80 {$60 after rebate} (SeaSonic built, one of the best of the best, modular)

For just $30 extra you can get the i5 2500k, it's more future proof considering the overclocking headroom (the 2400 doesn't OC at all).

Yeah, get the 2500k and a nice CPU cooler and you're set to overclock for the future.
