Hello! I was thinking to go for a ''build your own'' because I'm not sure if I can afford a pre-build. So I was thinking to buy a pack of some components, and I was wondering what more I'll need?: (this is the stuff that is in the pack)
Processor: Intel Core™ i7 Quad Processor i7-870, 2,93GHz, Socket LGA1156, 8MB, Boxed
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P55-USB3, P55, Socket-1156, 4xDDR3, ATX, GbLAN, USB3.0, PCI-Ex(2.0)x16
Memory: Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600MHz 4GB CL9, Kit w/2x 2GB XMS3 modules, CL9-9-9-24, for Core i5 and i7, 1.65V, Intel XMP
GPU: Gainward GeForce GTX 460 1GB PhysX CUDA, PCI-Express 2.0,"Golden Sample - GS", GDDR5, 2xDVI, native-HDMI, 700MHz

(and how will it run Mafia 2?)
 
It will max Mafia II easily.

What resolution screen are you running? Consider the 2GB GTX 460 if it's 1920x1080 or above.


Oh: Most important part. What powersupply are you getting? For that kind of rig, you want something in the 600 watt range. But you need a quality brand, PSU is not something to skimp on.

Stick to Antec, Corsair, Seasonic, Silverstone, OCZ, XFX and Zalman.

I'd recommend the Corsair TX-650w or the 650w XFX from newegg:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005&Tpk=650tx

And have you chosen a case? I recommend CoolerMaster Storm Scout, CM 690II Advanced, HAF 922
