Processor Intel Core i5 - 2400 em = GOOD
Cooling system 2440Cooler Master = DONT KNOW WHAT THIS IS BUT YOU WANT A COOLER MASTER 212 EVO
Motherboard ASUS P8H67M LE (B3) = OK, Z68 board would be better
Memory 8GB DDR3 1333MHz Corsair = GOOD
Hard Disk 1Tb SATA-III Seagate Barracuda = GOOD
video card GeForce GTX560 Zotac PCI-E 1024Mb = GOOD
Power supply unit 550W AeroSool the VP-550 = NOT GOOD BUY A 500 to 600w UNIT FROM CORSAIR or XFX

yes 550w is enough but you need a better brand like corsair or xfx.

That card is decent, few more bucks you can get a 6870 which would probably out perform that version of the 560.

I dont know what brett is talking about. The 560 is a very good card. As for he psu, yh you should get another one, if you have the money i would recommend a seasonic s12ii

That's harsh language. How about the Ti version is much better if you want to game. vrumor, from your sig, I can see that you have a 7970 and that's amazing but hasnol is trying to put together a mid range budget gamer. Let's remember to help those that can't plunk down oodles of $$$ for 7970's.

If he can push to a 560ti then do it but the 560 is not garbage for a mid range gaming pc.

hasnol: Toms has a great chart area that compares video cards. Here's the link for the comparison of a 6870 to a 560gtx. They appear to be pretty close.

BTW, the 560gtx is the first card eventhough it lists something about Walmart. How much $$ do you have to put toward the video card?

Sorry just trying to inject some honesty. Let me re-phrase, in the same price range of that 560 you can get a better card.
