Buying components to build a gaming PC

Hi. I have finally managed to choose carefully the necessary components to build a PC. I have 3 questions. Will a computer with these specs play the latest games? Is the PSU suitable for my computer? Is everything compatible?

Looks good to me. Although I'm sleepy as hell so someone else verify lol.
But I am certain you can't go wrong with the PSU you picked out.
Also make sure you get a 64 bit operating system.

Wow, I rather just buy a ready made PC. I'm planning on upgrading my PC with probably just the mother board and CPU.

It's more fun to do it all yourself, and you know there will be no 'tweaks' done that limit it lol

I have not bought one ready made since the first 486 I bought lol

I only make PC myself because its cheaper. But I don't really even make PC, I just upgrade. Buy one low-end PC and then upgrade it. Spending over $500 on a PC imo is just too much.

I will first get a 32-bit operating system, because I will ask a DVD with Windows 7 from my uncle and I think he only has 32-bit. But then I will download windows 7 64-bit and install it.

I won't buy a ready made PC, because here at Portugal, PC with this cost are a ****. They all come with low-end GPU's.

I don't need a monster GPU like that. I will play with HDMI at 1920x1080 and the GPU supports it.
