Some tips about the build would be nice. :)

Hi everyone, new to the forum. :)

After getting fed up with my current desktop computer and my sorta-kinda decent laptop, I decided to buy some new parts for my desktop one and hope for the best. Now I'm just wondering if anyone got any thoughts about this build, if it's total rubbish or if it could act as a decent/good gaming computer?

Motherboard: MSI 880GMA-E45, Socket-AM3
http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=596959

CPU: AMD Athlon II X3 450
http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=610540

Graphicscard: XFX Radeon HD5850 1GB
http://www.netonnet.se/art/dator/da...xfx-radeonhd58501gb-hd-585x-znfv/128958.4037/

Power supply: Axpertec Xion 500W Version 2.20
http://www.netonnet.se/art/dator/datorkomponenter/natdelar/AXP-500WVer220PSU/122169.3031/

RAM: Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB SATA

Harddrive: Kingston ValueR. DDR3 1333MHz 4GB

Sorry for the Swedish links, but there's a few guide-lines at least. Is there anything else that needs to be added? Or is this enough? Should anything be switched out? Please do note that I am not good at this stuff at all, so any help is appreciated. :D

Thank you in advance!

Hi littlemiswinter welcome to the forum.
I would go for the 890gx motherboard and also the PSU afaik is not of good quality stick to corsair seasonic thermaltake pc power and cooling and ocz and coolermaster.
Instead of the WD caviar green go for the caviar black or the samsung sinpoint f3.

For the RAM go with brands like gskill,patriot,corsair or mushkins.But kingston is also good.

I would opt for a better processor since your gpu is awesome but the processor might be a bottleneck.
