I'm thinking of buying the current gaming "budget build" and I'd appreciate any help I can get. Keep in mind I already have an AMD Radeon 6770 and a 21" Acer monitor.

Hitachi 750GB HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145532
G.Skill Ripjaws 8GB RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314
Z68 Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128502
i5 2500K: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072
Case and 630W PSU Combo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.767661

Does this all come together in a logical way? I'm not the smartest when it comes to computers. Also, should I even bother with this SDD thing? I was thinking of using a Crucial M4 64GB SDD for my OS but now I'm thinking I shouldn't even bother.

Do you have a budget? Also, what are your current specs, are you replacing old parts? It would help to know what you're replacing so we can help determine if something is, or isn't worth upgrading.

This would be a completely new system. And I'd like to keep it under $700 if at all possible. Like I mentioned, I already have a monitor, a video card (brand new), and peripherals (mouse, keyboard, etc) as well as Windows 7 64-bit.
