Well amd's fx processors are out. Id suggest swapping the phenom with that. And if you do that you are going to need an am3+ mobo.
As for power supply, corsair, ocz, thermaltake are reputable. Male sure 12v rail has good amperage.

Yes much better. Also if you were planning on doin some goodgaming that gfx aint gonna cut it. Id suggest better card but it will do fine for moderate gaming.
Also unless you have like hd audio and really cant stand any unclear audio, you dont need a sound card.

Alright, I started over from scratch. I realized that it would be cheaper/better to order from Amazon because I have prime and they don't charge tax..

I wouldnt get a 6850 anymore. The 7850 is a much better deal.

Save a little more get the z77 and get 7850. Or just buy what you have if you dont care, its good, but just isnt up to date.

If you are only looking for a gaming rig its probably in your best interest to get a Phenom II x4 965. You could get a decent OC board and cut off about 60 dollars off the processor cost. Then you could reapply the money to a gpu and at least get an OC edition 6870.

I can testify for the 6870 being an excellent card, I would still make Nvidia my next purchase though since the drivers are a heap of shit.
