I've finally decided on a new PC. It will be used only for games and the specs are: [UPDATED]

RAM: Corsair 4GB DDR3 1333MHz
(TW3X4G1333C9A XMP DDR3 RAM, 2x240-pin DIMMs, Non ECC Unbuffered, 9-9-9-24)

HARD DRIVE: Seagate 1TB SATA II 7200RPM

GPU: ATI Radeon 5870

MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte P55 UD4P

CHASSIS: Antec Twelve Hundred

PSU: Corsair HX-750w

OPTICAL DRIVE: Pioneer 218 DVD+/-RW

MONITOR: 21.5" 2ms E2200HD

Anything I should change?

It would help if you filled out the form in my sig, but some general recommendations, get this RAM
OCZ Platinum 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820227478

A 550W PSU would be plenty as well. Make sure that HDD is the .12 not the .11. Finally, I would recommend the 300 Illusion instead
Antec Three Hundred Illusion Black Steel ATX Mid Tower
