Opinions on new build please

[sym]

I'd greatly appreciate opinions on this build. It is going to be used mostly to play MMORPGs (Warhammer currently) and make small videos. It needs to be decent for gaming purposes, but we want to keep cost under control.

Questions I am specifically interested in:

• What is your general opinion on this build?
• Do you see any compatability problems with these components?
• Are there any better or cheaper parts that you would substitute for one of these components?
• Are there any components that would be significantly better for a bit more money?

We have a HD (SATA) and a monitor (19" wide).

This will be used with XP Home to begin with, possibly upgrading to Vista in a year.

Looks ok.

My suggestion is to get a better quality power supply. RaidMax is junk. Here is our list: What Power Supply should I get? How many Watts? Who made it? Guide Inside

Go with Seasonic or FSP when it comes to power supplies, Antec is good too you get a nice 5 year warranty!
I would go with the AMD 6000 simply for the fact that it has 2 x 1MB L2 Cache instead of the 2 x 512KB on the 5000, that will come in handy big time with Warhammer and the price is awesome http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103773

Do you think that the video card is the best option in that price range?

Thanks again.

Unless you're especially interested in the game that comes with the MSI card, this would be my choice instead: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814133232

MSI's customer support does not exist. You have to leave a voice mail only to never get an answer, they do not answer their emails either and when they do it is automated telling you they will contact you soon, that was months ago. I would not use an MSI product if it was free.
Go with the PNY, they have humans you can talk to if you have any issues.
