    Building new computer - would love opinions!

    Well I've finally decided to build a new PC after having this hand me down for a while now and since its the first one ill build myself I would love opinions on the parts i'm thinking of using.

    Case: Gladiator 600
    Motherboard: ASUS M4A88TD-M
    GPU: Radeon HD 6850
    PSU: Antec NEO ECO 520W
    CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition
    RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB
    HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB

    My budget came out to be around ~650$. If anyone has any recommendations for other parts I should look into that are cheaper / better or whatever but still stays close to my budget let me know. The main use of this computer will be gaming. I don't expect it to be able to run everything on Ultra but I want it to come pretty close to it.

    This build comes out to be 616$ if anyone was wondering.

    What can you harvest from the old computer is the question I have. Can you put off upgrading say a video card for the time being? If so you can probably squeeze out a 2500k build.

    >.> That should give you a better foundation. That's an odd price point at this point in time.
