380 watts is too low to build anything substantial these days. You need a minimum of 400 watts for anything to be game-capable, at least more so than integrated graphics, and I would aim for 450-500 to be safe.
That being said, I put this one together for you, complete with a power supply I use today that has proven itself very capable.

Newegg.com - Antec Three Hundred Illusion Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
DVDROM:
Newegg.com - LG Black 22X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache SATA DVD±RW SuperMulti Drive - CD / DVD Burners
