Oh man you got them all already. I was going to say Crucial SSD is better than vertex3 ssd or kingston ssd. The 500MB/s write is unrealistic by using ATTO to bench. AS SSD and Crystaldiskmark will...

While this is microcenter this is a good deal on a really good SSD, just to show what prices are. Paying full price for a vortex 3 is not worth it....

Asrock Pro 4 + i3 = 160 @ microcenter
AS5 = 10
160 for GPU???

I think A6-5600K is bad. It's a dual-core with lowered base clocks and weak integrated graphics. It's more suitable for an HTPC file server with limited transcoding requirements where its...

Didn't see that one, but even better that case.
There's no need for that, unless you're going to do some long term rendering with that machine, A6-5600K is a great processor for the that...

If it's mostly for gaming, the phenom you have chosen is fine. Phenoms are still excellent for gaming
and good for the budget.
Everything else looks good to go, except for the SSD. I would also...

I think that this is a really well balanced solution - http://img.techpowerup.org/121201/Capture629.jpg

This model of new AMD Trinity CPU...

One thing to consider is you have a USB 3.0 motherboard, but I'm going to assume your case is USB 2.0.
If it was me, I would upgrade to a new case, to get USB 3.0 (on the front/top of the case)...

I would pick a different processor. What you choose is 2 years old and about 1/2 the power of a modern processor in this class. http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Phenom+II+X4+965 Value...

It's mostly for some gaming and the CPU is a decent price range for me.
I'd like to play games like L4D2, TF, CS, Diablo3, SC2 without running my VC on low levels.

I haven't kept up with processors in a few years, but why choose a few years old processor? Just curious.
What will you be using the computer for?
