First post on AfterDawn! Anyway, I'm getting overwhelmed by all new things I learned today about building A PC from scratch and I need expert advice. I've been checking deals on newegg and managed to form what I think is a decent computer for gaming and watching HD videos. Here they are:

As you can see, I tried terribly to keep it below $500. Do you think there would be any problem with this combination of parts? What else do I need? Cables?(i got optical drive, keyboard and mouse already) Any other suggestions? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Pretty solid build for under $500....pretty much everything is included in boxes that you need. My personal preference is Intel....but AMD is cheaper and can do the job...here's a better chip for around the same price...and the processor is unlocked for easy overclocking :-)
