Default Rate my Sub-$450 build
For light gaming (Gmod, CSS, HL2EP1/2, TF2), a good bit of Photoshop/Dreamweaver/Flash, and maybe even movie-watching.

TT Soprano RS case
Excelstor Jupiter 250GB HDD
PALiT HD3850 512MB GPU
Earthwatts 380 PSU
2GB pqi Turbo RAM
Intel E2180 processor
Asus P5K SE motherboard

Comes out to $439 shipped, then there are $30 in MIR's. So is there anything that's got to go?

Power supply should be fine for what you're doing. That looks good!

Although I would probably swap the graphics card you've got for this:

The one you chose has DDR2 so it's likely a turd.
