It'll be using for gaming, running Photoshop, After Effects, Flash, sometimes at the same time. This will also be running on Windows 7. I'm trying to stay low budget, around the 500 dollar range.

Looks ok. But I would run like a mad dog from that case and power supply/cheap and lowend.

This one is a good price and would power it.

Cases, just get a lower end Antec or NZXT.

The board you have picked out is the same as mine. Its a DDR2 board not a DDR3. If you want DDR3 you need to change it to the GA MA790XT UD4P.
