Good for first gaming pc build?

wildchick

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.
