I am about to order these parts but would like a second opinion.
This system will be used for home/office and photo/video editing along with some light gaming.
I know this may be overkill for my use but just in case my son has a interest in gaming.....then maybe there will little or no upgrading to be done.
Please advise if I missed anything or compatibility issues. Already have monitor,keyboard,mouse.
My budget is just about $800.

I am no expert by any means but; especially if you dont want to have to change it in the near future, your power supply may be somewhat underpowered. If I were you, I would go for at least 550 watts.

Looks good for a extra $10 you can bump that 500GB HD to 640GB

As for the HD...500GB is more than enough for our needs, but you are right about what $10 more give you.

That power supply looks better, as for the HD, the more GBs the merrier!
