So, I am a first time computer builder, and my rig is aimed for gaming. My budget is pretty much $700 - $800 for the pc and accessories like the keyboard, but not including monitor (someone else is paying) and speakers (already have/will be using headphones instead), and will likely be reduced to Ubuntu with WINE to play games (those I wish to are gold/platinum rated) until I can work more moneys up for an os (Windows 7 64 bit - why oh why do you cost ~$110?!) Tell me what you think, if there is anything that should be changed, and maybe a little info on what kind of stuff I should be able to play, because I do not know how much the cpu, ram, and motherboard ratings will affect my gpu's performance.
Motherboard: AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz
GPU: GTX 260 (216 core)
RAM: 4 gb (2 x 2 gb) Corsair DDR3 1600
PSU: Antec EarthWatts EA650 650W Continuous Power ATX12V
And a relatively unimportant hard drive of 1TB and a dvd drive
