Hey guys I'm just rebuilding my pc after my old mobo gave out, the parts are coming in today, I'm using it to play various racing games as well as some of the older call of duty series, Fallout New Vegas, as well as video encoding, what do you guys think for about this PC on a budget.

Case: Cooler Master Elite 430 (39.99 after MIR)

PSU: ThermalTake 500W PSU (Recovered from the old PC)

RAM: 2x2GB OCZ Reaper DDR2 1066mhz (Recovered)

Mobo: Cheap ASRock N68C-S Socket AM2+/AM3 DDR2/DDR3 Support (Was gonna use the UCC feature but didn't, see below)

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 925 2.8Ghz OEM (First time with AMD? Was gonna purchase a Phenom II X3 Heka BE or a Athlon II X4 but I Found this for only 79.99 after a 10$ promo code on NewEgg which put it only 10 bucks above the two previous)

Graphics: nVidia 9800GTX+ (Recovered) (I know the onboard mobo graphics is like 4 years outdated ha but it doesn't matter because I have this ^^)

HDD: 400GB Hitachi 7200RPM SATA (Recovered), 80GB WD 7200RPM SATA

Opticals: 2 DVD Super - Multi Drive

Fans: Blue LED 120mm Fan in front, 2 of those on top, one in the back, just standard Antec 3 Speed Blue LED's I recovered.

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Sound Card: Creative SoundBlaster PCI Sound Card (Got from someone else's PC)

-Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 1000
-HP C3180 AIO Printer
-Logitech Driving Force GT
-19" Acer LCD Monitor 1280x1024
-26" Insignia LCD HDTV 1366x768
-Sony Micro HiFi Component Stereo plus a subwoofer from an old computer stereo set
-Microsoft Xbox Wireless Reciever which I use with my old Xbox360 Wireless controller


Any CHEAP suggestions on maybe improving it a little are appreciated, but I already went out on a limb to pay to replace the new stuff so I'm trying to keep the price on everything down.

Thanks guys for any suggestions you might have :)

It won't handle high end games that's for sure. And for $800 you would be better off just...
