I am building a computer, almost saved up enough to buy all the components :)

As i'm nearing the end and time of purchase, i'd really like to know how good the build I am making will be for its purpose : GAMING!

CPU : AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Socket AM3 3.2 GHz.. | Ebuyer.com
GPU : XFX HD 5850 Black Edition Dual DVI HDMI DP Out PCI-E.. | Ebuyer.com
RAM : 4GB DDR3 RAM. Depending on MOBO, I wil eventually upgrade to 8GB
MOBO: Asus M4N68T-M LE V2 Socket AM3 DDR3 Geforce 7025 VGA.. | Ebuyer.com
or: Biostar A880GU3 Socket AM3 Onboard VGA DVI HDMI USB3.0.. | Ebuyer.com
Depending on how much I save.

Already have 750W PSU, Generic DVD/RW Optical Drive, 250GB HDD(Will be adding a 1TB HDD eventually), and a Case.

So :
AMD Phenom II x4 955
ATi HD 5850
4GB DDR3 RAM
Really basic MOBO
Generic Optical Drive
Generic Case
and a HDD.

Thanks, and i'd be glad to provide and further information.
 
That will run most games on high settings, dependent on the resolution that you play at.
 
That will run most games on High-Max settings anywhere from 1680x1050 to 1920x1200. I would go for a higher quality motherboard. Here are some I've seen some recommended. These are off of a US site so you will need to search the model on ebuyer or whatever you use.

Newegg.com - ASUS M4A89GTD PRO AM3 AMD 890GX HDMI SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard
Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-870A-UD3 AM3 AMD 870 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
Newegg.com - ASUS M4A88T-V EVO/USB3 AM3 AMD 880G HDMI USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
Newegg.com - ASRock 890GX Extreme3 AM3 AMD 890GX HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

EDIT: What model PSU do you have? Also, what case will you be using?
