Rate my custom computer
Note: This is my first time building a custom computer.
I need feedbacks and opinion on the system. I've already bought all the items listed below. Some general feedback I need is listed in the questions. Others are welcomed too. Overall I just need help making the system run smoothly without troubles. Also, I don't plan on overclocking the system.
Are all the parts compatible to build a system? (just double checking)
Is the motherboard good?
Is the cooling sufficient? Do I need more or just an upgrade?
What about the video card? Will it suit my needs for moderate gaming (I'm only playing aliens vs predator 2 as of now)? What about other gaming (unreal tournament 4, farcry etc.)? How long will it might be before needing an upgrade?
Do I need a higher power supply?
Any items that aren't as reputable (products that are prone to failing)?
Any suggestions on adding to the computer?

I still haven't bought the dvd-rom and dvd burner yet. I need a burner that can support + and - formats. Suggestions for a brand and where to buy at retail would be great.
