Please don't get that PSU. Please refer to this list. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-254...-list.html
Cheap PSUs are really risky to run because if they suddenly mis-regulate power to your system or they fail, you run a huge risk of breaking every other component in your system. And CPUs and GPUs are both very expensive, and very delicate.
That build is okay, I would go with 2x4gb sticks of memory so you're getting dual channel going.
Here's a quick build I threw together.

Note that I did not include a case or storage, as that's really just personal taste and up to you.
Also note that this is a Skylake build with a nvidia 950 card rather than a 7xx, which bumps the cost a little because of a current gen GPU and DDR4 RAM, but not too badly, I think. Again, I didn't put too much thought into this, just got you some quality parts.
admin89 might want to chime in if the skylake Pentium CPU I picked won't overclock. I think it will? I know the haswells do.
EDIT: I'm stupid. I didn't notice that you wanted a $300 build. I'll revise this build in a couple hours when I get home. Sorry.
Thank you for the information. I'll just eat the extra cost and go with this PSU since Corsair is a reputable brand.
Also is there any major benefit to getting a 950 over a 750ti? I thought that Dolphin was much more CPU based then GPU.
