So, my cousin recently built his own gaming computer, but I wanted to upgrade a few of his parts and build one myself. I'm not that aware as to what is better but I gave it my best shot but I wanted some opinions before I ordered anything. I'm pretty sure one of my parts might have too much power or not enough. Here goes, all the parts I was planning on buying.

- COOLER MASTER HAF series RC-912-KKN4 Black SECC/ ABS Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
- Western Digital WD AV-GP WD5000AVCS 500GB IntelliPower 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
- ASRock H61M-DGS LGA 1155 Intel H61 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
- CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply & New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready
- Intel Core i5-2310 Sandy Bridge 2.9GHz (3.2GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 2000 BX80623I52310
- Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model BLS2KIT4G3D1339DS1S00

-1600x900
- Borderlands 2 (cant play it on my current HP computer), I'm not sure what else yet, I've just quit an MMO I've been playing for years
- I'm plan on buying from Newegg, budget is $900

Also, @ USAFRet, I wasn't sure which to get, what's the difference?

32 bit only supports 4GB of RAM, 64 support much more.

Much better.

That leaves you with 60$ for an SSD.

I would suggest THIS for if you want to go a little above 900$.
