Additional Comments: I wont bother listing some of the stuff like the cd drive and what not. I want to keep it cheap for now with intention to upgrade as I go. For example next month I intend to purchase another 4GB of the same ram. I would just like a quick look over these core components to see if there is anything I should be switching up for relatively the same price (or even lower).

Thanks!

For gaming the P67 board and the Intel® Core™ I5 2500K make a very nice set up. As far as the components I don’t see any problems or any less expensive upgrades off the top of head.
