This will be my first computer build and I was wanting to keep it a relatively low budget while still being able to play games mainly counter strike at optimal FPS and also for other new games.

So far this is what I have:

Apevia X-Dreamer4 AL Mid tower case
AMD FX6300 CPU
GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3 MOBO
PSU (haven't picked)
GPU (haven't picked)
Kingston SSD 120GB Hard Drive
G.Skills ripsaw 8GB (2x4) 1600Mhz
ASUS DVD Optical Drive

Wondering what you guys think of this build for just decent gaming?
And what would you recommend for GPU that won't break the bank, but also live up to gaming for the price.

And recommendations for a power supply, although I'm not as concerned with this portion yet

And is this motherboard decent enough for this set up?

Thanks in advance

I just got a 7950, I hope to God they don't come out with something ridiculously better. Although, considering past releases, I doubt they will.

Thanks for the tips. I checked it out, it looks good. Would you recommend anything else, like the hd7770?

It's a bit pricy for my budget, but I do realize a gpu is important so I don't want to shortchange myself on the long run. This build is a work in progress and there's no rush so if I have to save a bit to get it, I don't mind
