Most of those cores will sit idle, but whatever.

That graphics card is a pretty poor choice, unless you mean you already own it.

 

[EviLalpha]

i already own the card, that will be my next upgrade once i settle with the cpu and such!

im trying to future proof just a bit, i want to keep this system for atleast a year!

Seems decent.
