Just wondering if I'm okay with going ahead and ordering this? I'm more concerned about whether this build will actually run since I'm new to this whole PC building scene and am quite nervous.

However, after that, if you also have suggestions, my ears are open.

Thanks!

My budget is about $700. I do not intend to game hardcore or anything near that, so I don't mind some older parts for the sake of spending less money.

If you guys have suggestion to keep it around $700, then as I said, I'm open to them.

I just caught sight of this card:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487026&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

And from what I can see, its a lot more recent of a model, and it definitely is better when I check out its clock speeds, for example. What do you guys think?

I actually want to get one of these for an HTPC. That should be a solid card, much more current than the 650.
