Motherboard got with asus.

CPU is ok

Ram go with atleast 4gb of crucial corsair kingston or a-data

Case I have no comment, I don't like it or that company but its your decision

Power supply NO, go with a 650 corsair or antec

HDD go with a caviar black edition

Video card is a good brand but don't expect much in the way of performance. I have the same card, what games are you going to be playing and what resolution?

Too much money spent on the CPU, not enough on the power supply, ram, motherboard, or video card.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. You have examples of all three. Perhaps examples of "close" as well.

This should help...
What Power Supply should I get? How many Watts? Who made it? Guide Inside.

Look here for Khalil's guide to the best computer hardware brands.
