This new pc that I'm going to build is mainly for gaming and some smaller stuff like burning movies and photoshop.
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Before December.
BUDGET RANGE: 500-700 (700 max)
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, burning and watching movies (no blu-ray), photoshop, and multitasking.
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Monitor, OS, Keyboard, Mouse, PSU (maybe)
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: USA
PARTS PREFERENCES: CPU = AMD/Intel, Mobo = Intel or Amd (Asus/Gigabyte/ASRock/Intel), GPU = Nvidia/Ati
OVERCLOCKING: NO
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: NO

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I want a solid and stable build that can run the following games in max/medium settings such as:
Resident evil 5
COD Modern Warfare 2
Singularity
Bioshock 1 and 2
...mostly all the high end popular games.
This is what I have so far:
cpu
Intel Core i3-530 Clarkdale 2.93GHz 4MB L3 Cache LGA 1156 73W Dual-Core Desktop Processor BX80616I3530
mobo
Intel BOXDH55TC LGA 1156 Intel H55 HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
HDD

PSU
Rosewill RP500-2 500W ATX12V v2.01 Power Supply

DVD + CD Burner
LITE-ON Black 24X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 24X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache SATA 24X DVD Writer
Graphics Card
GIGABYTE GV-R485OC-1GH Radeon HD 4850 1GB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
NOTE: There are so many to choose from and I don't know which one to get, so I picked this one because it's kinda cheap and I heard it handles the games that I want to play. Also, I will be using one graphics card only. By the way, I wouldn't mind getting an Nvidia card tho... Any suggestions?
Case
COOLER MASTER ELITE 335 RC-335-KKN1-GP Black SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
NOTE: Not sure if it will fit everything especially all the plugs (ports) on the back panel. What do you think?
