No offense, but that's a really bad build. NEVER, EVER skimp the PSU. That PSU is utter trash. It's $22 for a reason, it's almost like a HP PSU, but with more watts... I'd buy this combo instead:Originally Posted by XGrave

First house brand that actually makes good products(if you look at the right ones).
Also, just reuse the 8600GTS too. This chart(4670(couldn't find 4650) vs 8600GTS) shows that it's pretty close, or at least you won't notice a drop until Crysis level stuff.

You can also throw out the CPU and heatsink for this:

AMD stock heatsinks aren't as terrible as the old Intel ones. They actually cool pretty well. Plus, it's a good bang for the buck. Here's an article backing up my statement:

If you look at the charts, you can see that the Athlon II x4 is more or less 80% of a Phenom II x4 at the same speed. It saves ~$96 while still receiving 80% of the performance, not bad if I say so myself.
