Welcome to teh Board.

What is your budget?

The list looks good. You did you're homework.

If you're main goal is a gaming machine, then you need a better video card.

If you can afford it, look at the e6750 instead. It's only about $20 more.

With what I have listed that is pretty close to my budget but I could go $20 more for the other e6750, I dont think I will play alot of games but what would you recommend for a better video card that will not break the bank and by the way thanks for the help

This card might be better: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130311

I'm sure others will come and voice their opinion as well.

I am not sure what video card you have listed, but check out this review. The entry level cards they list are good all around cards for the casual gamers and non-gaming applications.

Oh, dont forget an OS. you dont have one listed.

I have decided to just build a decent computer instead of a gaming machine with what i have listed please tell me what you think if I could stay below 500.00 that would be great. I have everything listed I think but an OS.

Thats a good list.

The link works for you on Newegg because your cookie keeps you logged in.

For a working system, that will cover everything. Do you already have the peripherals?

Be sure to buy the 'Retail' CPU, here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115031 and it will come with a heatsink.

Your case has a fan included, which will be fine for your setup.

Yup, that board has a PCI-Express slot for video cards when you need one.
