First time builder...please critique and comment

[Cyckik]

Hey guys. First of all I would like to say how helpful this forum has been in helping me outline a build for my first time. I will primarily be using this for gaming. I play alot of mmos and would like to be able to run warhammer online very decently... I am not too concerned with be able to run crysis or anything like that but I would like this build to last me a couple years. No plans on overclocking at the moment, mainly because I wouldn't even know where to start with that.

Case - Antec 900
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021

CPU - E8500
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115036

GPU - ASUS 4850 512mb
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121253 (I am thinking about crossfire in the future but I am going to start with one card since I am on a moderate budget)

Mobo - Intel x48
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121338
or
Gigabyte x48
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128332

RAM - Mushkin 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820146731

PSU - Antec 650W
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371011

HD - WD 640 GB

So any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated. This is my first time buying all of the components and building my own PC so any advice for that would be awesome as well. Thanks much for your time and help!

Get a P45 Asus P5Q-Pro with E8400 Combo. That should more than handle what you are playing and will last a while, too. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131299 and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115037 .

If you don't mind rebates, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341001 is a pretty good PSU (10 dollars cheaper after rebate).

Just something on the side, if you want to overclock you might want to look into http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233019 and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233003 otherwise the stock fan/heatsink will work for you.

Other than that, your choices are pretty good.
