+mouse and wireless card could work, and you might want a different monitor, I'm really not sure how good that one is.

There are most likely better builds, but I already had that one made a while back.

I apologize if this doesn't apply to you, Qwerty; I'm not attempting to be presumptuous. But a typical error many PC noobies make is thinking, say, that the GTX 640 would be more powerful than a GTX 590, simply because the number is higher. This isn't the case whatsoever. Typically the first number is the model line of that architecture and the following numbers are indications of the processing power within those specific sects (500's, 600's, 700's, etc).

The posters above me are absolutely correct. The GTX 620 would probably melt if you tried to do serious gaming on it. Keep that information in mind.

For this price range you could get an i5 (or maybe a 3570k, I think they may be cheaper now) and a GTX 570 (or 7850/7870 or so). You'd be set, gaming wise.
