Where do I start - NO!! What is your total budget? 550Ti is not that great of a video card. Intel cpus/mobos are better for gaming. The RAM is not low profile - may not fit under cpu cooler - you will get one ? Why such a big psu - plan on sli?

For $100 more, you could get something SIGNIFICANTLY more powerful and could most likely max out any title on the market.

For $40 more than your planned budget, you could build this which is also significantly beefier than your components.

dont i3's suck.
 
No, i3's are one of the best CPU's for the money, they're MUCH better than the FX-4100. Even Dual Core SB based Pentiums are very good considering their price range.

If you WANT AMD, at least get a Phenom II X4 965, they perform much, much better than the FX-4100.

Ok, look I dont want a new case, CD drive, or HDD im fine with all those.

I just need a New:

PSU: Because its over priced

GPU: Because apparently its not good to run the stuff I want.

CPU: Because thats what im mainly looking for.

RAM: Because of reasons

and a new MOBO: because i need the right socket of course.

Now, What if i got Just the CPU, RAM, PSU, and MOBO and Kept the Graphics card right now?

MASSIVE performance gains over the parts you chose for just $30 more :)
 
You usually don't want to cheap out on your GPU, that's what gives you the most performance for games.

If you would like this price to be lower, then I suggest you to swap out the i5 for an i3. HD7870 is about as low as I would want to go for this kind of budget.

how much of a difference would it make?
Plus there is a CPU, MOBO combo i've been looking at for 350 dollars on Newegg.

But i think i will stick with this one build.

 

Difference between an i3 and i5 is still pretty big, however, i3's are still very robust so I would feel comfortable going with that option.

i3 = Dual Core with Hyperthreading -> 2 cores 4 threads.
i5 = Quad Core No Hyperthreading -> 4 cores 4 threads.
