Hey, I have worked within my budget and have hopefully put together a half decent rig for moderate gaming needs and photo storing. I have read reviews on the components but im new to pcs so any info from knowledgeable people would be great. Thanks.

If you're going to be storing photos and installing some games, the first thing that springs to mind is a 500Gb hard drive will quickly be filled. I'd say it's worth going for a bigger hard drive or a second drive - can you afford a solid state drive for your operating system?
