I'm not sure if I pieced this together properly (thinking I might have missed some combo deals-would be nice to get keyboard/mouse included). I would like to cut costs if it won't be a big performance change. I would like this to be expandable as this will be my PC for a while. Otherwise, Please rate it for me!

Comes to $1144 without shipping. Like I said above, How is this for gaming (WOW, Battlefield bad Company2, COD Series, Starcraft2)...I want this PC to last a bit and perform great, but also would be nice to cut a few dollars here and there without decreasing performance. (like to stick with 5850 instead of like a 5770 though)
Thank you for any advice!
Just beware when buying items from
www.newegg.com,i heard of rumors that they were selling fake i7 cpu's,i cant remember exactly the website where i heard about it so im just warning you if you do read this thread.I may be wrong though.But thats just a rumor.Also too,if money is your concern,i'd go with 5770 instead of 5850 because 5850 uses more power consumption compare to 5770 which uses less and stay away from nvidia if electricity bill is the problem,because they use alot more power.Off course you will get huge performance from 5850.Graphics Cards Thermal Design Power (TDP) Database,the website is
www.geeks3d.com and look under that TDP section for power usage.Minimum power to run the 5770 is 550W from corsair thats if you are planning to overclock the cpu by more than 30% and overclock video card such as xfx 5770 xxx.Also too if you notice the AMD cpu's uses alot more power consumption than the ,i3 500,i5 600,i5 700,i7 800.But not the i7 900 which uses 130 tdp,but has alot better in performance.So if power wise,i recommend the i5 700 and i7 800 quad.There better in terms of power usage and performance.
Any way correct me if i'm wrong.Thank you.
