Hi, I'm currently 17, currently working a part time job at Diary Queen (low budget). I'm seeking for a light - medium gaming, something that can run today's games, like TF2, SC, L4D on low - medium settings. I live in Canada so I prefer to order from tigerdirect.ca. I have rounded up some parts, don't know exactly if they will be compatible with each other, and want to know what should be replaced/removed and also what is recommended.
Approximate Purchase Date: This week
Budget Range: $400-$500~ (not including shipping)

Overclocking: Not likely to
SLI or Crossfire: No

Additional Comments: Windows 7 Home prem 32 bit, or any XP (but heard of booting/installing issues, do I need a floppy drive?)
Processor: AMD ADX450WFGMBOX Athlon II X3 450 Triple Core Processor - 3.20GHz, Socket AM3, 1.5MB Cache, Retail w/ Fan

PSU: 460 Watts, ATX
Casing: Cooler Master RC-430-KWN1 Elite 430 Mid Tower ATX Case

I still need a CD/DVD reader, and wondering if I should instead get this case, which comes with a 500PSU for a cheaper price:$62.99 instead of ($44.97 + $44.97). Opinions and help is greatly appreciated.
