My budget is pretty much $1100, not a penny over and preferrably less that that.

Does it all look compatable? What would be the bottleneck for performance?

This will be used for gaming.

i would upgrade ur processor from a 3200 to something a little higher cuase u shuld upgrade the harder things now and worry about the easier upgrades later.
 
I was thinking about what I could do to get a better processor off the bat but I dont know what, I already stepped down from 2gb ram to 1 but I got a better PSU which sucked up all that leeway I had made. I doubt I will overclock, I am fairly new to the computer world and I am worried about blowin out my parts lol.

I was thinking that I will be satisfied with that processor for a while because I am used to a 2.6GHz P4 with 512ram. Once I get a job (soon) I was thinking I would get a better processor then, because as of now I am going off of $7 a week and I've been doin tons of extra chores.

yeah I really like that ram, it seems really cool how you can monitor how much is being used with those lights, I'm sure it would come in handy.
