It would be helpful to know your budget and where you are buying from

In general you have a strong mb/processor and decent RAM

but a fairly weak graphics card . If its just for gaming you can probably do better by spending less on the processor/mb etc and including a more powerful graphics card

On the Tomshardware home page is the system builder marathon $500 build . Worth reading for ideas [ but the psu they use is too budget ]
