I'm trying to create a build for a family member who wants to be able to play more recent games. I can assemble it, But the main issue at hand is the fact that I don't know for sure if these parts will work. Or if I can get a better deal.
Here's a picture of the current build

[b]I"m using a Case that I won from an event. The case will be an Antec 600[/b]
Here's a link to the wishlist. [url]https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/MySavedWishDetailPrint.aspx?ID=18768307[/url]
Is there anything that I could have done better? "The monitor will stay in there, They want a monitor of that size. But they can't decide on which brand. But that doesn't get included. Just subtract the price of the Monitor off the total price.
Will the parts I picked be enough to run? And is the PSU I chose work along with the Mobo and the GPU? I haven't bought PC parts in a long time. So I'm still a bit rusty.
Oh right, As an added bonus. If anyone can help me come up with a build that does the job and saves the most money and still remains well enough to play more recent games "We're talking like BC2:BC and Blops. Then I'll throw in a Free copy of Dues Ex: Game of the Year Edition. (Yes, I know it was on sale, And I'm sure a lot of people may have bought it but it's still nice to have the option of a reward.)
What is the PSU? It's not in the picture, and the wishlist is private. (They never work).

Sorry about that, I was trying to ask "Which PSU" would work best? I was thinking about a 600w. But I'm not so sure about the requirements anymore. I don't have a PSU in mind, But I know that I was thinking around a 600W
Just get the cheapest CERTIFIED psu. At that budget, 400W or more is enough.
Though, Antec would be the best.

Just pick something with a good brand.
Just get the Antec Basiq.

This PSU should be enough.

The other will be anough, too. It's just a GTS 450.
I'd get the Antec Neo Eco, since it's a Seasonic inside and it'll deliver what it is rated for. Earthwatts D models are Delta, which are considered decent, though the non-D model Earthwatts are considered best because they are also Seasonic units. The Basiq series is FSP, which is an acceptable budget choice but not as good as Delta or Seasonic.
You'll notice the [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371029]Neo Eco[/url] is 80 plus certified, which the 500 Basiqs aren't. It has 30A on the 12v output which should be all you'll need.
The only reason I didn't buy it is I had a max of $40 to spend and that had to cover shipping and tax too. So my choice for my new X3 build was the new Corsair CX430. This is a Channel Well unit, which I like for a budget choice. Especially since I got it as part of Newegg's Black November sales, $34 tax and shipping included, plus a $15 mail in rebate. I have had previous Channel Wells PSUs that have lasted me years so I'm comfortable with this PSU.
