Needing some help and opinions on a new PC. only got around 375-400$US to spend, only plan on playing BF2142, CS:S, Various F2P MMORPGs, and watching 720p videos and was wondering if this setup would be sufficient till i'm able to save up more money(Around a year or two after i find a new job...).

Stuff ive picked out, but I'm not good at this stuff...O.o..so thought I'd post here since i lurk the site quite a bit, to make sure everything would work fine...-

CPU: 8/10 - quite good value, quite fast
Motherboard: 0/10 - It's ECS, so will last approximately six weeks before you have to get another
Recommended replacements:
Either

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128380

RAM: 1/10 - cheap brand, very low speed, poor performance, overpriced
Recommended replacement:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145184

HDD: 4/10 - I own one of these drives and they're fine, but they're old, slow and outdated - worse, they're tiny!
Recommended replacement: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136218

GPU: 10/10 - At least you got something right :P

PSU: 4/10 - low quality, not very quiet, not really powerful enough for this system due to falsely labelled wattage
Recommended replacement: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139008

"worse, they're tiny!"

Why would you recomend a 640GB to fix such a problem? 640GB is still tiny!
