This is my first build. I want to be able to run most games well. I'm trying to keep it around $800. I'm not sure if the psu I have listed is what I need. Any help on that would be appreciated. Also, is the hdd worth it and should I bump the ram to 8gb or is 4 enough? Thanks!

You'll get more answers if ya edit ya post to list component names .. ... don't wanna give anyone RSI doing clickety click thing

I'd get an XFX PSU .... or Corsair TX 650. This one is $49

However, if ya thinking of adding a 2nd card later on (recommended to extend system life 12-18 months), Id get the 750

$110 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207003
$90 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207009

RAM - These are $40, better price and better choice.

HD - SATA III (6Gb/s interface) is not doing anything for ya since single drive can't approach SATA II speeds.. Conside SATA II w/ 1TB capacity for same performance.

Case _ Rosewill is the on line world's "Walmart" brand. Recommend the venerable Antec 300

The psu you listed is a 20+4 pin and my mobo is a 24 pin. Does this matter? (I have not a clue). Also, I was curious what ram you were speaking of. There is no link. Thanks for your help!

The 20+4 will work on a 24pin. There used to be/are some motherboards with a 20pin motherboard power socket.

I'd recommend a Samsung F3 1TB hard drive, as they are the fastest SATA II drives and are reasonably priced.

I agree on the Antec 300 case recommendation, and also suggest the Cooler Master 912 as an option to consider. I had the 300 and loved it. Cable management in mid towers is awful, but the 300's airflow is probably the best among mid towers.
