it looks pretty good. but i would wait for conroe to come out and then build your computer. but otherwise that looks like a good pc for gaming but i would get at least a 7800GT so you can play more games on higher graphics.

EDIT: i would get this powersupply instead it looks like it would be better. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817103937

Yes, deffinatley get a better GPU, I would go for a x1900, unless you dont want to spend 500 on a GPU.

i definitely want to spend less then 200 on gpu...and even tho i will be gaming...it wont be hardcore

Thanks for the new power supply...but is it worth it to spend the extra money on it?

EDIT: do u guys know of any better graphic cards then the one which i have chosen but for about the same price??

Hmm, the old one is blue, the new one looks boring. If your case has a window I would go for the blue one, maybe get some lights inside too.
