How can you add a Uniform Distribution to a Normal Distribution?

I've got a random variable A that has a normal distribution with mean 1000 and standard deviation 100. I've also got another random variable B that has a uniform distribution over [200,300]. I'm trying to get the distribution of A+B in order to be able to graph it. How do I go about doing this?

1. You need to find the convolution of the two densities as per the link below. http://www-stat.stanford.edu/~susan/courses/s116/node114.html
