Sorry, i am not very bright, links are now fixed

Please check out this build to make sure everything is compatible and any room for improvement. Want to stay at this price point, mainly used for gaming. I have about 200 dollars in gift cards to best buy, which is why I am getting my gpu from there. Anyone have any other suggestions, please let me know. I guess my main questions are is my gpu and motherboard good enough.

frys has the antec 650 watt on sale right now till thursday. better choice
look at the width of the case you chose and check the width of the graphics card. remember the motherboard installed will take up some space also.
tha antec 200 or 300 would be a better choice for gaming. the 200 does not come with the front fans. the 300 all fans are included.
Micro Center - Two Hundred ATX Gaming Case
Micro Center - Three Hundred ATX Case
also the case you chose, you will have to lay the case down to use the cd drive. look at your current computer and look at the cd drive. if it does not have the center spindle like a laptop drive it wont stay centered when on end. i already did this mistake. lol.
