Change the RAM to Crucial Ballistix sport. Been around for a long time and more reliable than any other memory besides Kingston. Same bus speed but 10 euros cheaper.

for gaming i would consider an Intel build. The fx 4100 throws punches with an 13 2100 in gaming benchmarks. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/fx-4100-core-i3-2100-gaming-benchmark,3136.html.

There is money to be saved here in your case choice (optional, based on your preference) and in windows as well. unless you have a particular reason to have a retail copy (ie multiple computers), the oem is $100 cheaper http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116986
