Budget Gaming Build

[Barricade]

Hello, I am about to buy a new PC for gaming and was wondering if what I had so far would work well. This is mainly going to be used to play FPS and Vanguard. I don't care about running the highest settings but want something that will last a while. My budget is about $1000.

Motherboard:
Asus P5B - $112

CPU:
E 6420 - $186
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115016

Case:
Coolermaster Centurion 534 - $50
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16811119106

PSU:
Ros ewill RP550-2 ATX 2.01 550W - $55
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16817182017

Harddrive :
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB - $67
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16822148144

Memory:
G.SKILL 2GB DDR2 800 - $88

GPU:
EVG A Geforce 7900GS - $125 (Cheapo until i have more $ for DX10 card)

OS:
Mi crosoft Vista Home Premium OEM - $112
http://www.newegg.com/product/Product.asp?item=N82E16832116202

Optical:
SAMSUNG DVD/CD Burner SATA - $36
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16827151141

This all comes out to a little under $900 with shipping. I would also like to get a decent 19'' LCD, but will probably order that later.

The Rosewill psu is a really poor choice.
Try this on a similar budget:
FSP AX500-PN 500watt 12v:2x18 PSU 20+4pin $65+0 7/19/07
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817104037

Don't forget the $20 rebate on that videocard!

Also, as of 22 July, Intel price cuts may well allow the $186 you have to be enough for an E67xx chip.
Wait a few days to see how this falls out.
