My first build, I hope this is the right place to ask for suggestions.

"To Legit 2 Quit"
This is my first PC build. I am looking to use it for gaming. I don't have a particular game in mind I want to start with as I usually stick to sports games like "Madden" on PS3. Some friends who PC game have finaly convinced me to give it a try, so here I am. Be brutal about the build I've put together as I expect it to change numerous times before its ready for purchase.
Thanks

The RAM price in particular is insanely out of whack, and so is the GPU.
OK. The CPU is fine. I suggest a 990FX motherboard though, and a Radeon 6870. Also, a different PSU and cooler.
Mobo ASRock 990FX Extreme3 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS $104.99
GPU HIS IceQ X H687QN1G2M Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card $179.99
RAM G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) $46.99
PSU SeaSonic S12II 520 Bronze 520W ATX12V V2.3 / EPS 12V V2.91 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply $69.99
Cooler COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO RR-212E-20PK-R2 Continuous Direct Contact 120mm Sleeve CPU Cooler $34.99
Optical Drive LG Black 14X BD-R 2X BD-RE 16X DVD+R 5X DVD-RAM 12X BD-ROM 4MB Cache SATA BDXL Blu-ray Burner,3D Play Back (WH14NS40) - OEM $69.99
That's not everything obviously, but those are much better parts than you chose, for better prices.

Thanks for the advice I will def make some changes. Question, the way you list all your component parts within the forum, is that the proper way of displaying a build or is it ok to use my profile page on UthinkPC? I think it is a cool site, but being new I want to make sure i'm following protocol...
