    yes that will make quite a nice modest gaming rig. all your chosen parts will fit perfectly.

    one thing I would say is if you could stretch the budget a little further and add a solid state hard drive to your list youd see a massive performance gain in terms of load times and general windows speed

    I do agree with badger906; a new build today without a quality SSD wouldn't be prudent. I recommend 120 GB or bigger if you have the budget.

    EDIT: I see we posted at the same time Matts.
    You can always add a SSD later but you will have to install the operating system on the SSD and remove it from the Hard drive. A lot of extra work. Just something to think on.

    if you have a hard drive in your current pc you could steal for a short period of time it means you could use that money to get an SSD and buy a larger storage drive later.
