I'm not new to building computers. But, I am not very technical with hardware. So, I would appreciate it a lot if somebody could let me know if there are any "bottle necks" with my hardware setup. I am thinking about getting a higher wattage on my power supply. Here's the link from pc part picker.

Graphics card is my main concern, I don't want to have drop over $600 preferably.

Anyway i would go with a different CPU, that really isn't such a smart choice. At least get a Phenom II x4 965 (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/amd-cpu-hdz965fbgmbox)
