First build.. suggestions?

Here are the specifications of the new computer I plan on building. Could anyone tell me if these are right for what I plan on doing or if I could get cheaper parts? I hope to not pay more than $650 for the box (Currently configured at about $630). I plan on doing some moderate gaming: Counter-Strike:Source, Half Life 2, and maybe Battlefield 2. I also plan on doing some photo editing.

Anyway, here is what I put together so far:

antec case with 450watt power supply
seagate barracuda 120gb 7200rpm sata150 hard drive
msi k8n neo4-f socket 939 nvidia nforce4 atx amd motherboard
bfg tech gefoce 7300gs 256mb gddr2 pci-e x16
corsair valueselect 1gb 2x512mb 184-ping ddr400
amd athlon 64 3200+ venice core socket 939
microsoft windows xp pro

I also had one question about bios. Does the bios setup utility automatically have default settings based on the components I have, meaning I wouldn't have to edit many settings at all? This worries me as I am worried on putting a wrong setting somewhere. I don't plan on really OCing anything.
