Download Speccy and post a screenshot. PSU will need an upgrade. I'd suggest upgrading the case as well.

Don't get that. You don't even know whether it's compatible. According to the website specifications, you have 4 sticks of RAM. That motherboard will only accept 2. Download Speccy and post a screenshot so we know what we're working with. That PSU isn't great either.

A little under $400 after rebates;

If you can spend another $30, grab a GTX 960, which I'd seriously recommend. The 380W PSU will be cutting it quite close, but it is superior quality wise. If you get a GTX 960, instead of the R9 280, it will use significantly less power.

You may have 4x1GB RAM so if you want to upgrade, you'll need to buy a new kit. Either way, I'd recommend upgrading to 8GB RAM when you can.
