For starters, get Western digital (caviar black series) instead of Hitachi.
ASRock has bad customer service and if something goes wrong your pretty much on your own. Other then that, QLC might come in and say something about the EVGA gpu, but I'm not sure. Good luck

The power supply you posted only has 1 6 pin pci-e. Try this PSU.
Perhaps an Asus P55 might be more suitable for you for gaming. The reason is because the H55 boards are equipped with built in video which you don't want or need when you have a dedicated graphics card. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131634

If you want a 460, spend the extra for a 1gb model.
Concur with the Antec BP 550 Plus and WD Black. For a motherboard, look at an Asus P7P55D-E LX. G.skill has been having issues with Intel chipset boards, I'd look at Corsair, Kingston, Crucial, or A-Data. If this all puts you over budget, look at an i3-530 or i3-540. Gaming depends more on the video card than the CPU. |

another note on why glc and i recommend the 1gb over the 786mb gtx460:
the 786mb one has a whole SM disabled, which equates to a 25% or greater performance loss. your losing alot more than memory on that card. and as he also said, the p55 chipset would do you much better in a gaming machine.
