Hi guys,
I'm trying to get the best gaming computer for my buck. My budget is around $850. If there are any parts that should be replaced for something else, please let me know. Any help at all is greatly appreciated!

Here is the build I have so far:

CPU - AMD Phenom II x4 955

Mobo - GIGABYTE GA-880GM-USB3

RAM - 4GB DDR3 1333

CASE - APEVIA X-Plorer

PSU - Antec Basiq 500w

HDD - 500GB from western digital

Graphics card - ATI Radeon HD 6850

CPU fan - coolmaster hyper tx3 vertical

I already have a windows 7 os ready and I believe my monitor resolution is 720p. I'm not so much looking to over-clock, just want a good gaming machine.
