Hi, I'm planning a gaming pc build and I have researched components and made a list of what I would like but I want to run it by some people with experience in this area before I buy, so here it goes...

Motherboard: ASRock 870 EXTREME3 $89.99

CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 640 $99.99

RAM: WINTEC AMPX 4GB $42.99

Video Card: HIS Radeon HD 4670 $64.99

Power Supply: Thermaltake TR2 W0070RUC 430 watt $43.99

Hard Drive: SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD502HJ $49.99

Optical Drive: Lite-On Ihap322-98 $25.99

WiFI Card: Linksys RangePlus WMP600N $39.98

TV Tuner Card: AVerMedia M791-B $22.50

Card Reader: Frisby CR096-BK $8.44

Case: Cooler Master RC-912-KKN1 $59.99

OS: WIndows 7 64 Bit Home Premium $68

Total $616.84

So what's your opinion on my plan? Am I all good or do I need to change out a few items?
 
Good looking on the CPU, I must have missed that one.

I'll pass on the combo deal, I didn't see much difference between the ASRock I picked and the ASUS accept for $20 more

The Thermaltake TR2 W0070RUC has a lot of good reviews on NewEgg, that's why I choose it. The Corsair CMPSU-430CX reviews are so-so, are the reviews misleading?
 
Go one up on the motherboard and get the 880G Extreme3. It has better power regulation/phases. 8+2 versus 4+1 on the 870 one. Better for overclocking.
