Looks good except for the GPU. Get a 7770 or 650ti instead. They both perform better for about the same price. Get this 1tb hard drive if you can

Everything else looks good.

The motherboard is AM3 , and a dead end
An AM3+ motherboard can be updated with current and future FX processors .
This Asrock is better and cheaper

This Gigabyte is a full ATX board and also cheaper

The thermaltake TR2 power supply is not a quality item . Use only 80+ rated power supplies . This corsair CX 430 is MUCH better

and cheaper after rebate

I would also use the 7770 instead of the 650ti

I would get a 650 Ti it's a much better choice then a 550 Ti and it's faster then a 7770.

bigcyco1 :

I would spend a bit more to get USB 3 front panel and USB3 back panel

Cheap USB3 case that is the same price

I agree in getting the CX430
