How's This Build?

I am completely new to building PC's and found this build on a different forum. Tell me what you guys think, and be easy on me.

*Budget is $800 and it won't be a heavy gaming pc. Mostly for work but occasional gaming such as Starcraft 2 and future games such as Diablo 3, ME3, Skyrim...

Thanks!

Welcome to the PC Mech forums.

I don't see a motherboard there. Samsung drives are unreliable: change that to a Western Digital Black or Blue.

G.Skill memory has been having lots of problems lately. Go with Crucial or Kingston.

EDIT: Sorry, the mobo is there. But it's a POS Asrock. You want to go with Asus or Gigabyte.

Look over some of the more recent $800 or near $800 builds for light gamers. This will give you a good idea.
