Anything I can change and invest in something else like Win OS and if I’m missing any parts

Parts I have are:
Mouse / keyboard / Screen (BenQ E2200 HD 1920 X 1080)



things like RAM i can spend some extra buck to increase it - just looking for any changes i should be aware of before i get them - have other posts in the same website. U guys have given many valuable suggestions so far

You do not need a 5770.. the 5450 will suffice. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] -_-Product

Have you considered the AMD Phenom II x6 Processors? They do much better than the i7 in highly threaded applications (Cores > Threads)

4GB Should be fine. (WHAT ARE YOU USING IS PC FOR????)

All else looks ok.

If you have a 5770 you have the option to do some gaming at some point if you want. For normal work a 5450 is generally plenty, but may not do HD perfectly. There is a 5550 and 5570 that will handle HD fine. There are models with DDR3 and DDR5 RAM. The DDR5 model is better.
