RAM - Kingston Hyper X Blu 8GB
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 500 GB

So this is what I decided to go with since my price range is 4-500 right now. I really only want a new rig for ESO and day z mainly. So I think what I picked is more than perfect for what I want. Anyone have any opinions? The only thing I don't like all that much is the motherboard but that's not a terribly expensive upgrade when I need to in the future.
Anyways thanks guy

There is nothing wrong with the choices, but there are a few points you can min max at.
Despite all efforts Amd is still behind the ball on cpu technology and it shows in pricing. a 3570k the all in name replacement for the 2500k is a great chip. It is worth the pricing difference, and as this is a change in motherboard as well not something you will be upgrading easily in a few months.
Other then that, you are short changing your self by not buying a 1tb hard drive. 1tb drives are the new standard, and I wouldn't doubt the jump is only going to cost you an extra ten dollars.
Edit. I just noticed the EVGA branding on your GPU choice. I love EVGA and I was forced to use their custom water blocked cards for a while until someone manufactured their own, with that said. You are paying extra for the name. I doubt it is much, but you can save a few bucks by picking up a reference model card. I doubt you will notice the difference in your gaming.
Edit again. You do not need a 750w PSU. Buy a good quality and named 80+ 550w bronze PSU and save some coin. You will not get a modular PSU at a lower price point so cable management will be a bit more a pain. And if you do not believe me, I implore you to do the research. Everyone always overbuys on PSU and it is a shame.
