I already have a power supply and GPU.

PSU: COOLER MASTER eXtreme Power Plus RS500-PCARD3-US 500W ATX12V v2.3 Power Supply

GPU: VGA EVGA|01G-P3-1461-KR GTX560 1G R


Total this comes out to around 600 bucks. 500-600 is my price range.

EDIT** I Switched out the hard drive and ram. How does this look? Is it all compatible?

looks excellent, should run everything and all games fine depending on your CPU

I edited my first post including my GPU and PSU.

Any compatibility issues with?

Balance wise, looks pretty sweet.

I'd suggest a few changes though. Nothing major, just brand wise.

1. Get an ASUS, Gigabyte or ASRock motherboard. All have much better features than Intel motherboards for around the same price. Or for just $10 more you could get a Z68 board for better future proofing (faster RAM, multi GPU, OCing etc).

2. Get a better case with USB 3.0 etc and better cooling. Check out the NZXT Elite 210 for just $49.99
