You really don't need a 650w PSU for this system, even if you do some hard core overclocking with your E5200 - I'd go with this:

and use part of the money you save to upgrade to this video card:

Tha one's only $5 more than the one you had, and the PSU saves you $25. Now you're only $30 over budget...

Nice build.

A dual core....

He could also probably run just fine on a 400w power supply if he wanted to but you want options in the future without upgrading the psu so stay with atleast 500w....

What resolution are you planning on running?

+1 to the PSU suggestions - you won't need all that power
