If any of you could help me decide if this is good for what I want to do, or if I'm doing something wrong/backwards I'd appreciate any help.

Pull the trigger, put it together and see what it'll do, you can ALWAYS take it apart...

I think you could get better frames if you went for a cheaper CPU E5200/7200 and motherboard (I've seen P45's for $90) and get a better card like a GTX 260 core 216 or Radeon 4870 1GB. Overclock the CPU to at east 3.0GHz and you'll be set.

Also, get a better powersupply like the Antec 500w as that PSU you listed looks to be pretty generic and cheap.

Ultra is the CompUsa/Tigerdirect brand and I dont realy trust it. From all the parts in your pc dont skimp on the PSU since to that is the most importain part for the PC's longevity/stability. Corsair, FSP, or Antec should do

+1 for batuchka's build. AMD is good choice for your price range. Also, any particular reason for IDE optical drive?

 

[gkay09]

+1 for batuchka's ...But would change case to Antec 300
You can save $30 by going with the new Phenom X2 dual core 550...

 

[ehanger]

Yeah I also support getting the 300 case but I think he should stick with the Phenom II triple core.
