So i pick some parts out, max 1500-1600$ but i don't know if im getting a good deal or i have more than needed or w/e. I plan on playing games like, cod, or strategy such as aoe. Also using programs such as photoshop and sony vegas. Also i not sure about the hard drive, i currently have 250GB size harddrive and i only use about 80 atm.. so should i get atleast 500gb?

any help appreciated and i plan on overclocking my processor to atleast 3.2 and if possible more, after i buy new heat sink (Thermalright "Ultra-120 eXtreme CPU Heatsink)

You'll save a few more bucks with this combo deal (CPU + mobo):

Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more!

As for RAM you can save some money by going with either of these two kits. If you aren't ordering really soon, then wait till the plats come back in stock, if you're ordering really soon, grab the golds. They have the same timings, but they are much cheaper than the Corsair set:

Also, grab this HDD, 5 bucks more for twice the cache:

Newegg.com - Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST3500320AS 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - Internal Hard Drives

Everything else looks pretty good.
