Let me start by saying i will be using this Computer mainly to:

Surf the Net
Watch Video Clips on the net
Play games (java) on the net
Download NFL, NHL,NBA games via torrent.
Play a couple High End games such as Madden 08', NHL 08', NBA 08', and a few others. But Im not an avid gamer, only a few times a week(if that).
I would also like to have multiple things running at once without lagging.
I also want to be able to upgrade with ease in the future.


I am pretty set in my parts, but if you guys think i messed up on a part i am definitely willing to listen.

Well, it looks pretty good. But I suggest you up the hard drive to 320gb/500gb. That way you have more room for videos. And that Powersupply is overkill, You won't need anymore then 600W but make sure it's a good trustable brand.

Yeah that 770w is overkill, but it will be good for down the road, and i got a deal. When i purchased the Ballistix memory, that PowerTek PSU came with it for a good combo deal. It saved me 100$. So it was a deal i couldn't pass up. Unless that PSU is bad quality.
 
Well the reviews posted are split lol. One says it's 5/5 the other 0/5. It seems like a good brand, but you might want to ask one of the senior techies.
