You need a different power supply. That is way too cheap for a 750w. Doesn't give the amps on the 12v rail and is of poor quality. Stick to corsair, antec, pc power and cooling, silverstone, seasonic, NZXT, or xfx.

I'd get a different CPU. That one cannot be overclocked. I'd look for either a black edition Phenom II or FX series. You don't need all 6 cores for games. I'd look for a higher-clocked 4 core if you don't want to overclock.

Get an AM3+ motherboard and an FX-6100 CPU. Newer setup. Those Alpine PSUs are junk too, go for a Corsair TX 650, will power a GTX 480 just fine.
 
NO! BAD!!! BAD POWERS SUPPLYS HAVE A VERY HI LIKLEY HOOD OF BLOWING UP YOUR PC!!!! Get one from: Seasonic, XFX, Corsair, Antec, or silverstone.

What have I told you about power supplies? Only stick to well known brands. That's another bad power supply you've picked out there.

Corsair, Seasonic, XFX, Antec, OCZ, PC P&C are usually the best brands.

If you got a cheaper graphics card such as a Radeon HD 6850 or a 6870 then you could spend more on a better power supply and make your system last longer. Bad power supplies = strong likelihood of a power supply failure, potentially taking out most things in your system.
