All components are equilibrate and price is not expensive for me.

 

But you wanna play with that configuration? Graphic card seems really not powerfull...

Power-supply is enough for this actual configuration but if you upgrade it (graphic card + HDDs), maybe it's gonna be not enough.

yep, it would be ok if you only wanted older games, but I figure it would lack on cod4 even because of the graphics card.

I personally like overkill on powersupply, but 650 watts or higher should suffice for most graphics cards now. and I too would double the Ram and get 8 gig.

The video card that will come with that is horrible, the power supply is horrible and depending on the operating system you will install on it, is how much ram you can add, a 32bit will allow up to 4 gigs and a 64 will allow up to however much the motherboard specs say, most usually up to 32 gigs which is overkill. Personally I don't like water cooling either but that's just me the processor seems pretty good to me though, not expensive and at the same time nice.

I would drop down to the 500GB drive (-$20) and add the 180GB OCZ Agility 3 SSD. You're going to see the best game performance by installing your games to the SSD. Also take the Corsair 750w "free upgrade" power supply. NEVER cheap out on power! It's the source of MANY computer problems. I would buy it with the default video card and then buy a better card on your own. The best bang/buck out there now is the ATI 6870 at around $150. With Windows 7 upgrading the video card will be a breeze.
