Drop your HDD down to this:

Seagate Barracuda 500GB - 79.99

and upgrade your processor to this:

AMD A8-3870K - 119.99

This is a much, much, much better PSU, and after rebate is only $25.

CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 - 44.99 (before 20.00 MIR)

Your RAM is 1.65v so it might be more beneficial and less problematic to go with a 1.5v RAM such as these:

Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 8GB (2 x 4GB) - 44.99

The total after these changes = $510.

After MIR = $490.

This will be a much more reliable system and give you the better graphic performance with the better integrated graphics of the 3870K.

i tryed to keep it under 500$ because that a common price point for average joe desktops. i picked a good rated psu and the cx are horible for corsair standards i used one already in my main pc. i seen alot of 8gb rams and 1 tb hdd. im figuring that my cpu is better than a i3 w integratedbecause mine has radeon 6500 graphics and you can at least play some older games on it good
