First time builder...got a few questions....Heres the parts ive already got and some on the way..

CPU- AMD Phenom II 940
MOBO- Biostar TA790GX XE
RAM- 4 GB- Corsair XMS2 800MHZ (Possibly 8GB if i decide to order another set)
PSU- BFG 550 Watt PSU
CASE- NXZT Classic ALPHA
VIDEO CARD- Sapphire 512 MB GDDR3 Radeon HD 4850
Optical- Samsung Dvd Burner
Hard Drive- Seagate Barracuda 500GB 7200 RPM and a Western Digital 500 GB 7200 RPM

Im wondering if i got a good deal on all this? how much you think all this cost?

1) How does this hardware look for a computer?
2) Im not a huge gamer but if i do, does this set up look like it could play any game out right now and many to come?
3) Do you think i will need any kind of third party cooling system or fans?
4) Im going to have to go wireless, any suggestions on a fairly cheap PCI card that will giving me good connection if i game and overall a pretty consistent connection?
5)Any other suggestions? maybe something i may need to upgrade to get better peformance?

Thanks!

You should be using 1066 RAM with a PII.

$700?

1. Decent over all.
2. Yes, but not on the highest settings. You don't mention monitor.
3. Yes, you should put another fan in front of your HD cage and get an after market cooler, then OC.

4. no recommendations.
5. See the RAM comment above.

I'd say that excellent for a first time builder.
