I'm going to build a gaming PC. This is the hardware I have:
Case - $190 - Throne W- ATX
CPU - $120 - Intel 3RD i3-3240T
Motherboard - $140 - ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA
RAM - $90 Vengeance 8GB(4x2GB) DDR3
Video Card - $80 - PNY NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 1GB GDDR3
Hard Drive - $70 - Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s
Power Supply - $90 - CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650
I found these affordable/good parts. Could I build a PC with all of them?

Way too much on the case - about $40-$70 should get you somehting fine

I wouldn't go for the T chip - it's a slowed down, lower power version. Suggest getting the -3240, or the slightly cheaper -3220.

Spending that much on a MB is stupid if you don't intend to OC (can't on that CPU) or SLI/CF (you'd get a faster GPU just by saving money on the MB).

RAM is overpriced, should be around $60. DDR3-1600, CL9, 1.5V, 2x4GB. Brand is a non-issue.

Better GPU.

PSU is overkill, anything 450W+ from the brands in my sig is fine.

Was that US price? Because they're all high IMO.
