Hi. I have a build that I put together. I plan to buy it at the end of February and am wondering if I could change anything to get the most bang for my buck. I can go up to $650.

I think you should spend more on your power supply, maybe buy one from corsair/antec/xfx, and maybe a 1TB seagate drive, I think they're cheaper than the 500gb. When you decide to buy your computer, maybe check the price on those.
