Like the title says, i'm trying to build an all around PC with the most power for the least dough. I am a gamer and also do some video editing and other less strenuous tasks (word processing, ect.) Also, i want to be able to upgrade my PC in a few years when it's no longer up to snuff. So this is what i have assembled.

Mobo - ASUS P5K3 Deluxe - $250
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E1681...

Processor - E4300 - $117
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E1681...

RAM - Patriot Extreme 2x 1GB DDR2 800 - $140
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E1682...

PSU - Corsair 620HX 620W - $190

HDD - Western Digital Caviar RE2 500GB 7,200 SATA - $150
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E1682...

GPU - Geforce 8800GTS 320 - $300-$330
(question on this one, should i buy a factory overclocked one or a stock one?)

Total - $1150

you can get that same corsair power supply for way cheaper at zipzoomfly.

EDIT:
also i have been hearing rumors that nvidia will be dropping prices on its 8800 series this month because of the new ati cards.

If you're looking for the most bang for buck I would definetly suggest dropping the ASUS mobo for a cheaper yet high performing GA P35 DS3R for $140. You could upgrade to an E6600 for the money you saved.
