That PSU is crap. Get an XFX, Corsair, Seasonic, Antec.
Get a more recent CPU. (i3 3220)
You do not need an aftermarket cooler. The stock one will be fine.

 

[blackrealm]

hmm, cn you point me out a good link for the CPU? fairly good price aswell?

[blackrealm]

ahh, i'm sorry i meant the PSU DX

 

[tiny voices]

Just get an PSU from antec, XFX, Seasonic, Corsair in your budget around 450-500w

Yeah you seem to be on the right track.
If you're on a really tight budget you can usually squeeze by on a cheaper psu+case combo like this one for $40 ($55 by tomorrow).
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147099
But it's not a good idea to run expensive components in that cheap of hardware because the power supply is really bad, so if you have room in the budget it is usually suggested to get something basic from any of the previously mentioned psu makers.
Also 8gb of ram is way over the top. This is probably what you want. way cheaper and the highest speed a 3220 can handle.

And this motherboard is a cheaper alternative as long as you don't need extra pci slots, compatible with all the newest processors.

Never get a case+PSU combo. That's common knowledge.

That motherboard won't work. It needs a bios update to work with an ivy bridge CPU.

Get 2x2gb RAM not 1x4gb.

Grand total $592 before rebates, including os. You can skip the os and buy a 7870.
I built this same system with a pentium g860 instead of the 3220, no os, and a rosewill case/psu combo for like $370 a few months ago, prices fluctuate a lot.
"never" is a very strong word, that build is holding up just fine and plays dirt 3 well over 30fps at HD resolutions.

hey kevin where's the graphics card?
just wandering

 

[tiny voices]

its a 7770 at the bottom of his list. It will be good for medium settings in modern games.

thanks i think imma go with that build, everything looks pretty good,

 

[blackrealm]

what about a cpu cooler?, like the i3- 3200 stock fan, aren't they pretty bad?

 

[tiny voices]

It will be perfectly fine. You cannot overclock the CPU so an aftermarket fan isn't needed.

Why going with a 7770 with is poor for 1080p when you can get 7870?
