Ok I'm looking to build my own pc, I've done some research asked some people and this is what I've come up with. Keep in mind it's my very first attempt at putting various parts together so I might have minorly or majorly screwed up with one or more things, hell I might even be missing some crucial aspects so feel free to laugh and criticize as long as you offer me some advice with it

I use my computer for mainly everyday use, some moderate gaming (nothing extreme at all) and a lot of video downloading/unzipping etc.
It's my understanding that I would have no problem playing 1080p quality video if I hooked this up to a 42" 1080p TV?
Did I forget anything?
Are there any compatibility issues?
something I should upgrade?
Should I go 8gb of ram?
I've been told AMD MoBo's have powerful onboard graphics so I wouldn't need a video card considering my uses?
Any comments/suggestions/criticism is welcomed THX
