It would be very helpful for making suggestions if you posted the actual links to all of these products

You don't seem to have a hard drive in that list, for $55 you can get a Seagate 7200.12 500 GB or a Samsung Spinpoint F3 500 GB.

Your ram is mismatched, and getting 4 GB is highly recommended for gaming.
This G.Skill CAS 9 4 GB kit is almost the same price as your 2 1 GB sticks, counting the free shipping ($85).
CAS 7 1333 MHz RAM is recommended by most, this OCZ kit is $105.

Do you need an OS? Windows 7 OEM is available for about $105.

(All prices based on newegg.)

ya i know im missing a hd and an os but i got it covered thanks though

ya i think your right about the ram i should go with that ram you suggested i was a little iffy on my choice

I agree with the g skill memory recommendation made above.

I would suggest doing better than a 5770 GPU - that will really make the most difference when gaming. A 5850 is much better. You may find an nVidia card around 250$ for somewhere in between the 5770 and 5850, because at the moment ATI doesn't have one (should change with the 5830 card)

I would also suggest the x2 550 or x3 720 CPUs. They are black edition, w/ unlocked multipliers. That CPU only has 2MB of L2 cache... the ones I mentioned have 6GB of L3 cache, and they're benchmarked here at tom's hardware:

And both listed as great buys for their prices here:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-gaming-cpu,2520.html

Lastly, realize the mobo you chose only supports DDR2, which prices are now unbearable to buy. Go for a DDR3 board like this one:
GIGABYTE GA-MA770T-UD3P AM3 (65$ after MIR @ newegg)
and the RAM the guy before me mentioned:
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) (85$ newegg)

k i guess i should start rethinking my approach then cause now i need to redo my mobo, cpu, ram, gpu, lol i might as well jus erase what i have done lol. dont get me wrong im happy to hear some feed back.

 

[cruestix142]

i know you said that the 5850 would be way bettter than the 5770 but its like $150 bucks more! i cant do that sorry dude any other suggestions? maybe going down to a 4870?

 

[mirzai_m]

Grab a 4890 off eBay then. Or just stick with the 5770. The 5770's fine. Yeah it's not a kill them all screaming demon card, but it'll perform very, very well and you'll have a great time. Then just throw a fiver in the jar every now and then and in 6 months-1 year you can buy another 5770 then you'll be "current", if that makes you happy. Just get your 5770 and realize that's it's more than enough.

 

[donovands]

What resolution are you looking to game at? The 5770 will be fine for anything 1680 x 1050 or lower. If you want to play the latest games at resolutions like 1900 x 1200 then you're going to want a better GPU. The 5770 will give you about the same performance as a 4870, but will have directx 11 support and Eyefinity, plus draws less power and therefore runs cooler. Like Mirzai_m recommended you can always get a second 5770 later and get 5850 level performance.

k ill jus stick with what i got setup now i guess im now doin this build instead

Looks good. One thing you may want to consider is your motherboard has only a single PCIe x16 slot. This means that if you want to crossfire later you'll need a new board. Other than that your build looks good.
