New specs for a gaming computer

[Undoubtedly]

Hey I have put together a list with some specs I feel would be good for what I want it to do.
Mainly playing games, such as WoW and Starcraft 2. I would love this computer to last a few years
This build is going to cost me roughly $1200 AUS.

This is the build;
AMD Phenom II x4 920. 2.8ghz 8mb cpu
Aus m4n78-SE motherboard
Kingston 4xgig ram
500g hard drive
sapphire ATI HD 5770 -vapor 1gig 128 bit.
coolermaster to5 black with 500w psu.
Going with windows 7 32bit.
22inch acer screen


Any C &C would be great, I could spend another 200-300 bucks if needed.

Thanks

if the aus is roughly equal to the usd. that site is scandalous on its prices for what they are selling. i would look into any alternative sellers.

Where are you purchase from?

PSU - What brand have you got?

CPU - Recommend you get Phenom IIx 4 955

Mobo - better off to AMD 880G/ 870 chipset

RAM - DDR3 is standard nowadays.

OS - best to go for 64bit

BTW - this bundle looks OK to me, and seems cheaper than what you've been chosen (although I am not highly recommend OCZ RAM and cooler master extreme plus 500W)
