Hello!
Im planning on getting a new PC to replace my damn laptop ... Im a gamer, but not realy hardcore

Motherboard : Asus P6T Desktop Motherboard - Intel X58 Express Chipset
Processor: Intel Core i7 930 2.80 GHz
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 5750
Ram : Something like 4GB DDR3
Case : Antec Nine Hundred
PSU : Antec EarthWatts EA650 ATX12V & EPS12V Power Supply

With a 1TB HDD and a cheap dvd burner

Is that looking good?

^ If you are building the PC mainly for gaming, then I would suggest you spend more the the GPU than on the CPU...
A good gaming config -

CPU - i5 760

Mobo - ASUS P7P55D-E Pro(Has both SLI and Crossfire)

RAM - 4GB DDR3 - Preferrably Corsair/ Crucial/ Mushkin/ GSKilz/ Patriot

Graphics card - GTX 460 1GB

PSU - Maybe the Corsair, but even the EA is fine...

From where will you be buying the parts ? If from newegg, then there are a lot of combos that will save good money...

At 1st glance and since u have no render/encode/compile needs mentioned terribly cpu/mobo heavy and GPU lite for the $$

Like suggested by others, your build does not relates to your needs.. If moderate gaming is your highest computation need then, I guess a good AMD build will be the best way to go..
