That looks pretty good, but every single person on this forum is going to tell you to go with a Core 2 Duo instead of the AMD.

600W is most certainly not too much.

what about case and optical drives?

I also suggest you go with a Core 2 Duo, especially since you are a gamer. The C2D is a better fit for your needs. AMD isn't bad, but like I said, C2D is better.
