I'm building a budget gaming PC and I've put the parts together with the help of a friend. Will be using on-board graphics until I can afford a dedicated graphics card. With a budget of about R4000 (excluding the monitor and HDDs) I've put together the following. All the parts are from Esquire and I have considered VAT.

Intel "Executive Series" "Elkhorn Creek" B75 Chipset
Intel Core i5 3330 Processor
ADATA Premier 4.0GB DDR3 1600MHZ
AeroCool VP-550 550W PSU
SeaGate & Western Digital SATA HDDs
UniQue Midi Tower Case - Red Bezel

Are there any compatibility issues? Will the 550W PSU support a mid-range video card in the future? Any input or recommendations will be appreciated.
 
The only thing I'd really change is the case. I'd get something with a bit more cooling capability than the Unique studff, which I don't really like. Do you have any other options within your budget? Are you able to consider other retailers or Esquire the one you want to stick with?

They're not bad, just way overpriced. You have to spend up to a specific level before it becomes reasonable, otherwise all their budget builds have to be taken as they are to make it worth the extra cost.
