Hi,
I'm very new to this and i was wondering if i could get some help. I want to build a gaming pc with a budget of $550 to $650 (but i would like to keep it below 600). The games i will be playing on this are not all that demanding (at least not like crisis) i will be playing games like WoW, stagecraft 2, guild wars 2, and maybe even a little dc universe. Here's what i came up with so far… (i am very new and for all i know i could have everything wrong and this computer will break in a week.)

Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128342&Tpk=gigabyter%20ga-ma74gm-s2
Video Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125339
Memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227569
Processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103843&Tpk=amd%20athlon%20x3%20440%20rana%203.0ghz
OS: Heres where i ran into a problem… I don't see the difference between the two other than one costs double than the other. Again i am very new to this, so please let me know which one i should use...

It all comes out to about $552 to $652 depending on which OS i can use. Please let me know where i can save money but keep similar performance. Also can i upgrade all these parts in the future? And please let me know which OS i should use. AM i missing anything and i mean ANYTHING (i already hav a monitor, mouse, and keyboard, and an HDMI cable to hook up the monitor to the pc). Lastly, is there anything i can do to make it better without costing much more?
Thanks
