My Soon-To-Be Build 09-04-2013, 03:17 PM

So pretty soon I'm gunna be building myself a (relatively) budget gaming PC.
I'll be using it for the general things; gaming, photo/video editing, browsing, multi-tasking, etc.
This is what I've got planed so far.
What do you guys think? I need opinions.
EDIT: Updated the PSU as I wanted at least a semi-modular power supply for as much cable-management options as possible. It's a little bit more expensive but worth it, I think.

I reserve the right to change my opinion at a moments notice.
Those who amuse me get an imaginary piece of cheese.
