I'm using this as a thread to plan out my first PC build! I've always loved gaming but have never had the money to build a fast PC to play new games. I'd appreciate ANY advice as to certain brands for certain components or cheaper deals. This IS a budget build, I'd like to end up somewhere around $600 though I suspect it may end up more likely around $700. All parts were sourced from Newegg.

PC Purpose: Gaming, web browsing, music, video, downloading, photoshop, etc. Mostly gaming and school stuff.

As of now the build is at $650, feel free to suggest different components,
Don't need keyboard/mouse/display or OS as I already have Windows 7.

OH, and I plan on using my 40" Sony Bravia as my display. Is this a problem?

Thanks in advance guys!
