Alright so i am planning on building a new computer for gaming at 1920x1080 resolution on a 21.5 inch monitor that i already own. I have all the peripherals i just need the tower and preferably micro ATX.
I also have the OS already so no need to budget that in.
Here is what i have so far, i am looking to get the best bang for the buck but still be able to play most games on high settings on my monitor.
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black WD5001AALS 500GB 7200 RPM <- part of combo with case
Case: Rosewill CHALLENGER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower <- part of combo with HDD
PS: Rosewill BRONZE series RBR750-M 750W
Mobo: ASUS M4A88T-M AM3 AMD 880G HDMI Micro ATX AMD
CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 640 Propus 3.0GHz Socket AM3
GPU: MSI R5830 Twin Frozr II Radeon HD 5830 1GB 256-bit
RAM: Mushkin Enhanced Silverline 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333
DVD: PLEXTOR 24X DVD/CD Writer Black SATA Model PX-880SA-26
I would also like this to be a good desktop for school. I am a software engineering student, but i think that a gaming desktop can handle what i would need it for.
Any ideas or recommended changes are welcome.
Also I know that some mobo's only work with certain RAM, or at least thats what i have heard, so if those wont work together please advise some other RAM or another Mobo.
I am not particular to AMD just seems to be best bang for buck. would welcome Intel and then maybe think SLI in the future.
I am looking at buying within a week or two.
As I said any tips are appreciated.
Thanks!

you know how ram says "perfect match with i5/i7" or something similar? Yeah.. pure marketing. As long as you have DDRX with a DDRX board you are pretty much fine. (X=Number)
