Hey everyone I'm gonna try and throw together a cheap gaming PC for under 550 preferably less. This is what I have so far any suggestions are appreciated:

I'm really unsure about this whole thing rather new to this. If I could squeeze in a sound card that would be nice too!
 
I would suggest getting a bigger HDD, larger platters means better data density means better performance. A 42% increase in price will get you 6x the capacity and significantly better performance

Also the 4650 isnt going to give you a good gaming experience, try to get a 4830 if you can, what resolution is your monitor? You also dont need a sound card, the onboard sound is pretty good these days and the only way you will get better sound quality is if you drop about 100 on a sound card which takes alot of your budget.
