I am planning on building a new computer and would like some recommendations on these parts I am going to buy. I will be using the computer for some minor gaming. I am also looking for a cheap, but good build and I am planning on overclocking the processor, graphics card, and memory. I already have a hard drive, disc drive, monitor, and graphics card. Please check out my build and give any recommendations. Thanks

I have a Geforce 8500. It will not be a problem now, I will probably get a much better one in the future if I decide to get more demanding games.
I have updated my list with some recommendations from you and other sources (not sure if I am allowed to post link). Can you please comment on this one?
Can you also recommend an AMD processor and motherboard? AMD seems to me to be cheaper. I am right now looking at THIS and THIS. Are these any better than the E7400 considering after you have overclocked them?

They're cheaper for a reason. The E7400 steamrollers both of those CPUs. The rival to the 7750 is the E5200, and the 6400+ is slightly below that. After overclocking, the Intel's lead only increases further.

I'd go with a better brand of RAM like Corsair, but apart from that the build is fine. The 400W Corsair and 380W Earthwatts perform similarly, the Corsair is probably a bit better though, and also works out cheaper with a rebate.
