an SSD at this price point doesn't seem good. as it will take >20 % of the budget to itself.
and for the usage you mentioned, the HDD will be good.

and try to put the External HDD's to back Ports (USB 3.0) instead of the front ports (usually USB 2.0)

just one thing i would like to change :
get a decent cabinet like Gamma or BitFenix Merc Alpha or Cooler Master K350

@ Cilus : suggest a UPS too. and why did you edit the Intel config.
it was so much awesome.

I have suggested a i3 3220 based config earlier and then was able accommodate FX-6300 within your budget and edited the post. For you tasks, FX-6300 which is a 6 Core Processor, is a far better and future proof solution than i3 3220 due to its far better multi-threaded performance.
