2nd Opinion on Gaming Build

[Happy_LandFiLL]

Hello everyone!

I'm making this thread because I'm wanting a few more experienced people to take a look at this wish list build and tell me if:

1. All the parts are compatible with one another
2. If this build is a good gaming rig on a budget, or if it can be more budget efficient
3. If there are problems with any of the parts or build overall I'd like some advice or tips on it

That is the link to the wishlist. Thanks in advance for all the help and advice! Remember that this build is on a budget and I'd like to keep it under 600. The sooner I have the advice, the better; the friend I'm building this for is rather particular about time. Thanks!

I just get the Newegg sign in form when I click on the link...

EDIT: You fixed it!

Have you looked at an AMD set up?

Have you looked at an AMD set up?

I actually prefer AMD and what I use in all 3 of my computers. My friend, though, is dead set on it. He thinks they're superior; I guess because of the commercials?

Other than that, you think everything looks good?

Here is the wish list with parts updated to an AMD/ATI build:

http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=11286334

The mobo and PSU come in a packaged set that can't be shown on the wish list. the package deals costs 99.98, taking off about 35 dollars off the total price.

Any more comments or suggestions are still appreciated, I hope to have all this ordered by sometime next week. Thanks!
