for the GPU get this instead http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4259630&CatId=3670
its a Sapphire Radeon HD 4830 and cheaper than the one your getting (90$ after rebate)
also can you link me the AMD Athlon X2 7850 Black Edition
and if you're not really on a budget why not pay an extra 50 $ for a 1 TB HDD http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4131881&Sku=TSD-1000AS2 or maybe something less cause 160 gb seems small =[ or maybe 20 more dollars for 500 gigs http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=139

Maybe he isn't going to be downloading a crap load of stuff, which is why he gets a 160gig HD, and maybe he wants to save money?

IDK though, sometimes when I get a small HDD I have no more room I was just suggesting =/

You can get the 4830 for about 73 off newegg, tigerdirect is usually overpriced anyways.
Although the 4770 does preform a little better than the 4830 in most cases.

It does not perform a little better, it performs a lot better.
The HD4770 is close to the HD4850

It should run fine in crysis and other games, but most likely not so smooth in GTA 4 since it is very GPU and CPU demanding.
The only thing I would change is the PSU, well just my opinion but I usually trust most PSUs that come with cases.
Here's another case option --> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811156191
And this PSU should do the job -->http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153052

What do you mean?
If you want a better graphics card, just simply buy a better one and replace it?

First of all, what games do you play?
That 4770 should do the job for most games.

In that general price area:
HD4650 < HD4670=9600GT < HD4830=9800GTX < HD4770 < HD4850=GTS250/9800GTX+ < HD4870=GTX260 < HD4890=GTX275

The price/performance ratio is probably best around the 4770 or 4850.
