Im guessing you have a average graphics card budget so a 4770-100$ or a 4850-150$ or a 4870-179$. those 3 are high perfprmance cards and low on price.
The cpu you chose is the last generation and not a very good one. you should return it and get something better like the phenom II. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103471 The case that you got is not that great and it will not work with the motherboard that you got. you will need an atx case. This would be a good basic case. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129042 The other parts are good. You should post yours parts list before you buys so that you can get feedback and make sure everything will work.
CPU: 2/10 - Monstrous power consumption, poor performance, but low price Mobo: 7/10 - Questionable performance in higher end systems, but a solid design overall RAM: 9/10 - Good brand, good choice PSU: 5/10 - Not on the bad list, but an over-rated unit undeserving of a 650W rating ODD: 10/10 - Amazing drives HDD: 6/10 - In this era, the cost gains from using 160GB over say, 250 or 500 aren't really worth bothering with. Case: Incompatible with motherboard. Another is required. On its own merits 1/10 - Rosewill stuff is cheap crap.
