Just wondering if the following items would be any good together. Want to try and keep price under around 800, but prefer even cheaper and still get good performance.
Going to run Windows 7 64-bits, I myself use Sony Vegas and me and the wife play video games, currently newest is Sims 3 and Need for Speed World.
This is what I could come up with so far:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

CPU: AMD FX-4300 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor (€97.90)
Motherboard: MSI 990FXA-GD65 ATX AM3+ Motherboard (€104.90 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Memory: Kingston Beast 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (€139.15 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Storage: Sandisk Ultra Plus 256GB 2.5" Solid State Disk (€133.82 @ Pixmania DE)
Storage: Toshiba 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (€99.90 @ Caseking)
Video Card: XFX Radeon HD 7850 2GB Video Card (€134.90)
Case: Sharkoon VS3-V chrome (€29.99 @ Alternate)

The reason for the power supply to be 550 Watt is in case I want to add a second videocard to the setup.
 
This is my suggestion:
