Looks good but I don't think you can get 2 more sticks because I think the motherboard only has 2 slots for RAM.
****, uh, then which motherboard should I get? Because I would like to upgrade to 8GB RAM at some point. Especially because my Birthday is like two months after Christmas, so I could probably do it then. :S

Other motherboards are more expensive, so you wouldn't want to do that.
However, 4GB RAM sticks exist, so later on, you could by 2x4GB sticks to get 8GB RAM. However, this means you waste the 20$ spent on the 2x2GB sticks you are buying now.
In this case, I recommend just buying 2x4GB sticks right now, even if it will cost a bit more.Also, maybe you should change the PSU to one with a modular cabling system. It reduces cable clutter.

Woops, got the wrong case. Actually mean the Cooler Master Elite 334 NVIDIA Edition. I have that case, it looks cool, and it has toolless drive bays as well. It's also 5$ cheaper. It's not on pcpartpicker, but you can pick it up at tigerdirect.ca or in-store. I got mine in store. So yeah, get this case instead, unless you already ordered, in which case the old one works just as well, only the NVIDIA one looks cooler :tongue.gif:

You put together a really nice build for the budget banana. That could definitely run most games at medium+ settings. I have a phenom ii x4 970 3.5ghz and it tears through battlefield 3 like butter. And yea, everything else looks great. You don't need a modular power supply with that case, it is a huge case, plenty of room. It will save you lots of money to not get one. But again, really nice build for under $600.
So if I need to I can just buy another set of the 2x2 RAM? And that will be compatible with the mobo?
Any other final suggestions? :3
Thanks for all your help guys! It's really appreciated!
Looks good, although the mobo is really cheap. This is a bit better, although, for your purposes, it probably is not worth spending that much extra. This would be more worth it.

And yeah, other than that, you should be good.
It will be plenty for a single 6850/6870.
Thank-you, I will definitely take that into consideration when I bring this list to my parents. :smile.gif:
