I've been wanting to build a PC that's good enough to handle SWTOR on somewhat medium settings and just a good computer for general use as well. My problem is I'm lacking in experience and I'd just like some constructive criticism to help me next time I take on building a PC. And just to know if I did well on my current one. I'll post the link to my computer build on here so everyone can see what I've bought so far. Thank you for any feedback.
Here's the link to my computer build, all the parts are listed there:

Update: Just as an update I have been looking into the PSU I've chosen, so far bad reviews mostly :( Hope I didn't waste my time buying it. It is still in box in case it's possible it might fail any tips?
Oh and if you can't get the link I'll just add all the specs of my computer right here:

Case: NZXT Guardian 921 rb
MB: AsRock Extreme3 atx am3+
RAM: G Skill 8 GB DDR3-1600 ( came with MB)
Storage: 1TB Western Digital 7200 rpm
PSU: 480W ATX12V (this is the only one I'm really concerned about)
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
GPU: EVGA Geforce GT 610 2GB
CPU: AMD Phenom II x 4 965 Black 3.4 Ghz Quad-Core
CPU Fan: Rosewill RCX-ZAIO-92 54.8 CFM Sleeve Bearing
Total cost est. at: $550 approximately

I will have to say that the Power supply is not the best as Logisys is not a well known Power supply maker and you should not expect quality from a $20 power supply.
The power supply and the video card are the two parts I would point out as being on the weak side and being on a tight budget you may not have a lot of options as quality parts do cost more. You also don't want to spend $500 and have a sub standard computer that your not happy with.

Thank you. You are correct I was going to go with a better graphics card but I was trying to finish the computer faster. I also regret I didn't learn about the power supply until after I purchased it. I will most likely have to buy another according to alot of the reviews Ive read.
