Making a list, checking it twice

Just wondering if you all could check my parts and let me know if anything look like they aren't going to work well.

I am curious if the PSU is powerful enough and if I need to get 4G of memory or can I get by with 2G. I would like to keep it around 800 bucks. It is going to be used for a light gaming revolving around Starcraft 2.

Thanks for your help

Pretty good list.

You can go with DDR2-800 unless you're going to overclock. I'd get 4GB because RAM is cheap. If you're using a 32bit OS, keep in mind it will only report around 3GB.

Check out the Radeon HD 4850 cards. They are a very strong performer for the buck.

That power supply is ok, but a little weak on the 12V rails. I'd spend a tad more on this Corsair for plenty of headroom: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...corsair%2b650w
