Hello! I am trying to configure a new mid-level build for the holidays. I was hoping to keep the total price around $700. Could you please review my build and make sure everything is compatible and work well with each other, at a good price, and a good choice? Lastly, I have listed my old power supply. Is the wattage too low for this configuration?

I currently play WoW and SC2. I plan on playing SW:ToR and Diablo III. I hope to play all of these games at max settings at 1080p. Thanks so much for the help!
