I am somewhat new to building computers, I never really built my own but I have been looking around newegg often and looking what sort of parts would fit more bang for my buck. With a tighter budget I plan on getting a decent gaming rig for around 600$ and I just wanted to know your thoughts on it.
Keep in mind that I'm but a small newb to this but hope to know perfectly what I am looking at, in that case I could be missing a lot of stuff (excluding the external parts). Just tell me what it is I could use and what I could do with out.
Though from the looks of it I think I might need some fans and heatsinks to keep it cool?

I'd like to add that this is something I want to start off and then upgrade as time goes on to eventually having a pretty high end gaming comp.
*Edit: I've updated what I'm willing to replace, so that averages my rig to around 650$ which isn't too bad. After looking over everything I decided to make this one and when I feel it's time I'll upgrade the mobo and the cpu along with the ram to DDR3. Thanks for all the advice guys.
