Do you need a keyboard, mouse? Or an OS and monitor?

I don't need the monitor so do think I should upgrade the graphics card?
Yeah, get an updated graphics card then. Wolley is saying a 6850, I personally prefer Nvidia (they have 3 digits, AMD has 4 that's how you tell them apart) but it's your choice really. A 560 Ti or an AMD card of equal price:performance are my recommendations.
Just a suggestion but shouldn't the power supply be a little more than the minimal requirement? Since the Graphics Card needs 550W.
The GPU doesn't need 550W, where are you seeing that? Link me to it. Usually they take up 195W or around there. Maybe bump up to 650W for some added security.
That HDD is overpriced. Spinpoints are GREAT but Seagate has the best price:performance.

The 550W is for the entire build, not the card itself. I think newegg is trying to guess "if they are using this card these (say the parts that are in your build) are the most likely parts they are using, thus a 550W PSU should run it all fine". But yeah, that's for the whole build.

600W is good, if he has a lot of pictures and music and stuff he could invest in a 1TB but that's for OP to decide.
Yeah I was thinking of getting a 1TB hard drive instead for about $100.

Ok, just make sure it's from a good brand. Seagate has the best price:performance ratio in my opinion, WD is good as well but is expensive, so is Samsung's Spinpoint series but they are expensive as well. Hitachi is the only brand you should never get, they have a high failure rate and are just all around bad drives.
Just making sure and if that's your final list then I like it, thank-you :D! The only thing I might change is the HDD to a 1TB. You did a well job sir, also to you jakus12. +1 for both of you!

I just wanted to make sure.
I changed the HDD and is a 600W good?
