How is this PC build, make it better if you can?

What I have already: 64 bit windows xp pro OS

DVI 1080p LCD Monitor

Surround Sound System

1 TB External firewire harddrive

Logitech g5 gaming mouse

680 watt Avevia power supply



Primarily this computer will be used for games, I do not care to run them on the highest settings just being able to play the game and the game looking decent is enough for me, but this will also be for school and minor video editing but nothing to extensive so judge my build on those features, also do only suggest changes to my build that will not increase my total cost cause I have pretty much pushed my limit on spending, however if it is around 5 or 10 dollars more and the product is that much better than please suggest it. I want to order off of newegg as I get their shipments around 2 days and I need to order and have this build within the next week. Thanks and here it is:



Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as



CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as



(I realize the future of gaming is quad core, however should I just get a dual core right now that is 3.0 ghz or around their with good hypertransport speed and just upgrade a year down the road to a quad, in this area I am a little confused on what to do, I did not want to spend 100 on a quad for a gaming computer)



Graphics Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as



Keyboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as



(I would like to cut cost down here so if you have a keyboard that is much cheaper and quality(Wont break within a year) but also allows you to use more than two buttons at a time, please recommend it)



Harddrive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as



I do not want a Seagate, or anything less then 120gb but I do not want anything over 500gb as if it is around 50$ and over 500gb it probably is not highest quality



Memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as



how will this run with my CPU)



Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as



(has to be Sata no IDE!, but I really do not do much burning, personally I would rather have just a CD burner and DVD reader)



Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as



( I want some sort of case that glows for appeal, my preference which is a stupid way to shop but its what I like so I want a LED one, however it also needs a good amount of fans(three good ones would be nice), and atleast 1 usb front port. And as long as it has the option for 4 internal hardddrives and atleast 2 cd drives then it is all good)





Thanks, you do not have to make suggestions on all. Take a good look and tell me what you think this system will run in terms of current games like COD 4 or 5, Crysis, and any others that you can think of and also how what areas I could reduce costs)How is this PC build, make it better if you can?
For you question on dual or quad, get Quad. I bought a computer about a year ago and got dual core because I thought quad wouldn't be needed for a few years. Well, I need to get a quad because my processor can't keep up, even with some browser games.



Make sure you get at least 2.8ghz+ for CPU speed. A lot of games right now are needing 2.4-2.6 minimum. Might as well be a bit ahead of the game.How is this PC build, make it better if you can?
Wow ugh it will run 8 windows of crysis 15 windows of cod 4 %26amp; 5 and you could be on 8 windows of internet at one time.



By the way nice case
