I may not have noticed it in all of those acronyms, but where is your graphics card?

I'm getting the graphics card on my birthday, and I am using a nividia geforce 8500 gt currently.

Oh, I see. I guess it's good but it is pretty hard to build a good computer without a lot more spending money.

You do realize I can't view your email attachments.... =]

I would have never bought those parts, but then most parts in my PC cost more then your whole PC....

I guess for an ultra-budged PC it will do, but the 800w PCU is overkill as is the CPU fan, since your case will likely have shitty airflow. I would have rather invested in a more stable PSU. But it will do fine.

The 1600Mhz will require the CPU to be overclocked, without it your DIMMs will run at 1333Mhz.

For GPU pick a 650 or 660 (Ti), your CPU will bottleneck anything higher.

I should really get me some more memory seeing how prices have dropped so drastically.

Well you could, but then your whole system is imbalanced towards the GPU.

You should consider upgrading your CPU too.
