Video Card:

Unsure about hard drive so a suggestion would be helpful.

I already have my case, power supply, dvd/cd drives and fans.

Thanks for the help guys.

ram http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231122

intel is a better choice for gaming and will perform much better. also a qaud core and a good mobo are cheaper than one of the bundles you listed. what is you current power supply?

I agree that intel is better for gaming. I just built one with an Intel E8400 and it is Awesome.

Which Power supply do you have? You can't just use any old unit.

I agree with krj's components though. For the graphics card, you should also really go with an XFX 8800GT not an EVGA, since the latter have been having quality control issues recently.
