This computer will be for watching HD movies, browsing the Internet, development/programming, a decent amount of Photoshop and InDesign work, and light gaming (older games, probably) so it does not need to be very powerful but I'd like to get the most out of my budget, which is around $600-650.
Here's what I have so far:

(I already have a hard drive and keyboard/monitor).
I need help with finding a power supply. I don't really know what kind I should be looking for. Anything else I am missing?
How easy will getting this to run Mavericks be? Can I do any better in this budget?
Thank you. I am very excited to give this a try!
