For gaming you don't need anything more than the I5 750 (or 760 now that its out). That should save you a bit.

4GB of a least DDR3 1333Mhz. I generally for for Corsair but a lot of people like G Skill.

Power supply - If you're intending to crossfire then a 750W or 850W one will do fine. If you're going for 850W then the Corsair HX is the best option.

Motherboard - I'd recommend either an Asus or a Gigabyte one, P55 chipset for I5 obviously. Form factor and general capabilities are at your discretion.

GPU - The 5770 is literally entry level for gaming, for monitors with fairly low resolutions. You may as well go that bit extra and get a 1 GB Nvidia GTX 460 as they destroy the 5770 in pretty much everything and will handle higher resolutions much better in games.

CPU is the processor! :lol:

i5 750

G.Skill 4gb of ram

HX850

mobo- P55 evo

It won't handle high end games that's for sure. And for $800 you would be better off just...
