silverstone 500 watt psu $50
500 gig hard drive $75

games better thanks to the 6870
better in non game applications
overclocks well even on the stock cooler

raidmax = rubbish
if you can top up the ram get it but for a gamer dont go over 8gb, pointless unless video.photo editing etc
6870>6850 not much but it is better
his amd is slightly better than your i3.. neither are great but working with a budget... if you can i5 ( at least 2nd gen) and maybe h77 board ( gonna cost ya ) it will give you better upgrade potential as the new intels are 1155 socket as well

This build is $500. It's pretty much the same as yours except it has 4GB memory. You can get 8GB if you want, but I think it's pretty useless. This build also doesn't include rebates so it's probably less than $500, and amazon also gives free shipping on orders above $25.

You could replace the CPU/Mobo to i3-2100 and intel mobo if you want. But I prefer the 965 simply because it's better for multi-threaded applications.
