You've got a few unnecessary parts in there.

The CPU cooler is something that you don't really need unless your planning on overclocking, the stock one should be fine.

The motherboard has built in audio, so you really don't need that sound card at all.

personally i don't see a need for an optical drive, so that's something to consider if you can live without.

Another thing is that you have to factor in the cost of a copy of the operating system. ~100 dollars for an oem version.

Since you specified 'gaming' i would definitely buy a better video card. You can get a Radeon 7770 for around $130, and that is a decent mid-range card.

The other major thing, is i didnt see you including a regular hard drive? 120 GB isnt a sufficent amount in a "gaming" PC. Get yourself a decent sized hard drive depending on your needs.


Also do you have a budget in mind? we can help you a lot more with a spending point in mind.

Watch a few build videos on YouTube, read a few how-to- build blogs, make sure you understand all the terminology, work slowly and double check everything and you should have no problems. :bounce:
