AMD Build - Need Help Reviewing Parts

[Dominato3r]

Hello guys! Just need a bit of help revising my latest build:

AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Thuban 6 Core Processor 2.8GHZ
ASUS M4A77TD ATX AM3 DDR3 AMD770 SB710
Radeon HD 5770 850MHZ 1Gb GDDR5 4.8GHZ
Corsair XMS3 6GB DDR3 3X2GB DDR3-1333
Antec Truepower 550W Modular Power Supply ATX12V
Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB 7200RPM 32MB
Thermaltake Element T Mid Tower ATX Case Black

The two items that Ive been thinking about constantly are the mobo (good? bad? M4A88TD instead?) and the PSU (enough wattage?). Other than that, I'm ready to order the parts and start building.

Main uses are going to be some moderate gaming and web browsing etc.

Thank you!

Looks "ok" except for the triple channel RAM. Phenoms use dual channel. You'll also likely be able to get a better deal on a Samsung F3 instead of that WD Black.

I say that it looks only "ok" because you'll be much better off by dropping the CPU to something like a Phenom II X4 955 and getting a better video card like GTX 460 or 6850. As a general rule of thumb, the 6 core isn't going to help you very much in games.
