My first rig

I'm currently in the planing stages of my first custom computer, I'm trying to keep the price low.
these are the parts I've come up with so far

http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/28Q8G00FPER4A/ref=topnav_lists_2

I went with a cheaper GPU because I plan on buying an upgrade when I can afford it.
for the OS would it be possible for me to, uh... get a cheaper or more basic version, or should I just shell out the 90$ for win 7 home?

so is there anything I'm missing? any advice is welcome.

Okay. The build is just to low end and dated already. On that budget I seriously recommend buying some stuff used on that budget. Also, a $60 case on that budget?!

Here (Newegg is generally the go-to place for computer parts, not Amazon):
Refurbished NZXT 210

ASRock 970 PRO3

FX-4300

Corsair CX430

Western Digital Blue 500 GB

Memory-Mininum 4 GB, 1600MHz, try eBay

GPU-Go used for sure on this, try for a GTX 550Ti, GTX 460, or HD 6850, HD 7770, HD 5830, etc. That one on Amazon is low end.

Nope, Basic is to low end. Go Windows 8 too.


This build may be a bit more then what you had, but worth it BY FAR.
 
I suggest you get a gtx 460 for your video card like suggested above because you can get a used one on ebay for ~$60-70 and for that price you really can't beat the performance. The 6670 you picked is a low end card and it wouldn't play games well.
