-----------------------

Your mobo and cpu should work together. Though don't know if you can get better stuff or combo deals for anything. I'll look around and see what I can find.

Here's what I'm seeing that could be a problem.
-Your V.Card is out of stock.
-Your Heat-Sync isn't AM3 compatible (or at least doesn't list itself as).
-A lot of times bare drives don't come with cables. Pick up a Rosewill sata cable they're like $3.
-500GB isn't really that big. For $14 more you can get this drive (also a Seagate Barracuda) but 1TB.
Newegg.com - Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST31000528AS 1TB
 
Alright more feedback. I changed my Harddrive that was a good find. Rosewill 18" Serial ATA cable for 3.99 is this the cable i need? Ok for the heat-sync i didnt think that was right in the first place what do you think would be a close replacement? The V. card i found one on ebay a little cheaper so that part is covered. Thanx again and cant wait to here back on other stuff.
 
ok Another question that heatsink you recomended comes with tx-2 thermal paste or should I but Artic silver-5 paste instead?
 
ok cool that will save me a couple of bucks by getting rid of that.
Some more of my concerns
1. cables needed?
2.Keep current motherboard or upgrade?
3.How well will this pc run FFxiv or warhammer 2? or can i not even tell yet?
