Replace the e8400 with a X4 940 be phenom + mb combo . The cpu just as good for gaming and better at multitasking

I'd honestly have to recommend going with a Phenom II 940 and an HD4870, but it's your call. Neither your build nor Why_Me's are stupid.

Antec 300 $55
4GB OCZ Platinum 800 $55
HD4890 $220 - $20 MIR
Corsair 750W $110 -$10 MIR
LG SATA DVD burner $23
Mouse and Keyboard and Moniter too subject to recommend.

$723 + perhipreals and moniter, etc.
