So a few days ago my computer decided to kaboom itself to pieces (at the worst possible time to, need it for school). So I'm trying to find some new parts (CPU, mobo, RAM, graphics card, hard drive, powersupply) with about a $750 budget. I'd like it to be able to play fallout3 decently (medium-high) at 1680x1050. Here's what I got so far. I've only built a hand full of systems and I wanted to make sure I got everything right.

(the powersupply I'm looking at probably is a bit overkill :/)
I think all this is compatible, but if anyone has any suggestions for different parts or if I missed a compatibility issue somewhere, please let me know
Thanks
