I posted my original gaming build last night, but after getting some good input this is the new list I've come up with. Just wanted to know if it was a good set up for a first time pc builder and good for running a game like Star Wars: The Old Republic and web surfing. In the future I might be doing video editing, but nothing extremely advanced. All help is wonderful!
This is my budget: $500 I would love to put more towards a pc but I really can't so if you know of parts that are equal value but better I would love to know of them. Or if I needed to put more money towards a specific part while sacraficing for another that would be fine.
Thanks for the help :D

Very nice build, but i'd upgrade the graphics card to HD 6770/6850. This is a good gaming computer for slightly under $600. just in case you need to see the other possible configs.

Your best bet is to either build one yourself, or find one made for gaming.
http://www.newegg.com/ is an excellent (Be glad i didn't say eggselent) resource for finding parts and whole, preconstructed towers alike, no matter which route you take. You can compare the premade ones and read the reviews (this is one site where the reviews are usually spot on) to figure out what works best for what YOU want to do. Certain hardware runs certain games better than other hardware, while the same item may not run a different game as well. More often than not, you can find reviews from gamers who have used each build or piece of hardware on a specific high-end game you're looking to play, such as BF3, Crysis 2, etc in the reviews section.
Just make sure you stay reasonable. Hardware technology currently vastly exceeds the requirements of recent software, even for games and video editing programs. It is quite easy to get carried away and build a PC that is complete overkill. So, it's alright to save yourself some money and just get components that will do what you want to do... Don't let people talk you into buying hardware you'll likely never require in the next 10 years. All it does is make your computer run freaking hot.
