Processor-AMD Athlon(tm)II x4 630 2.80 GHz
GPU-Radeon HD 7850 1GB 256-bit
Motherboard-msi k9n6pgm2-v2(MS-7309)

Close to 350.00 total, also are you satisfied with your current psu and is it working ?
Also is your current ati card good enough for gaming or do you want something else ?
 
What's wrong with your current case? The more you can tack off the more budget you have towards what really matters.
Its got a pretty big dent on the top of it I could go with out a new one though, But if i did a mid tower would work right?

Yes a mid tower is perfectly fine for any gaming PC. Reason I ask, is because if I work a case into it, I would be putting in a cheapo 30 dollar one to put more budget towards your GPU/CPU.
 
Pro supports more than 16GB of RAM. If you won't ever use more than 16GB of RAM in the lifetime of Windows 7 then you can go with Home Premium which is only 99 bucks.
