Additional Comments: I ordered the parts to build a computer from newegg and had to send them all back because the system would not work. I asked for replacement parts but because one item on the RMA was out of stock they are refunding me the entire order except for the Case and Memory, because i ordered that separately. It is G skill 4Gb 1600 Mhz Cl9 and Cooler Master cm690 II advanced. So now i have to order new parts.

Was thinking about cutting back on the video card for now. I dont play any demanding games at the moment and working two jobs im not going to for a while. I was thinking about going with a gt 240 just for general use and then when the new 500 series cards from nvidia come out picking up something like a 560.
 
yep. here's the parts you'll need, since you have RAM and a CASE already:

I'd usually recommend the Samsung, but this is on sale for the price of a 500 GB.
