First Build (i5, GTX 460)

Last response: in Systems

Hello, I'm planning to purchase a new computer soon and have gathered these parts. I'm not a total noob, but I just want to make sure everything is a-okay and if there's anything I can fix.
I tried to keep everything around/under ~1k. Also, I'll mainly be using this computer for Starcraft 2, WoW, and then just school work. I also want it to be i5 powered. If there's anything I can change to make it cheaper, that would be great.

CPU: i5 750

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-P55

RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600

GPU: EVGA Nvidia GTX 460

Power Supply: Corsair 750W

HD: WD 1TB 7200 RPM HDD

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium

DVD/CD Burner: ASUS

Case: Xclio windtunnel

Approx. Total = $1,100

For the case, I just chose some random good looking case. It's probably overkill, so if there's anything cheaper with good quality, I'm up for it.

Thanks

OCZ 600W + ASUS DVD

Total - ~$669 Not including the graphics card... IMO get a better card if you will be sticking wiht 1 card...maybe the HD 5850 ??
Note: With the above build you cannot go Crossfire/ SLI as they either dont support or the 2nd PCIe slot runs crippled @ x4...

Sounds much better gkay, and yeah I have no idea when it comes to today's graphics cards/ what's the best etc. And I don't plan on doing SLI/Crossfire, I just thought those were optional and you don't have to use them. Can you suggest exactly what GPU I should get?
