I have the first 4 parts and buying the last 4 parts, anyone know how much fps ill get in current games?
 
You should be able to pull 50fps+ in the average games coming out nowadays (probably lower in games like BF3 coming out). This is a pretty generic budget build, and from a quick scan everything should be compatible (don't trust me on that, though 😛)

If you manage to get a bit of extra money, I'd suggest upgrading your video card before anything else. Upgrading to a GeForce GTX 560 Ti for 40-50$ more will get you an extra 5-10 fps in most games.
 
My 2 cents, I would recommend starting with 8gig ram instead of 4gig. The ram is cheap enough that there isn't a huge gap in cost between 4gig and 8gig now.

Agreed. Get as much as you can afford. Look at how DDR/DDR2 Ram went from dirt cheap to expensive.
 
I was actually planning on buying another 4gbs of RAM since i already own 4gbs, and its only 30 bucks to buy another 4 gbs.
 
Didn't specify that initially. That's good though 8gig should work well. The only other suggestion I have is maybe look at a faster CPU for not much more. The CPU you have listed is quad core for 130 right?
I was looking and found six core for 40 bucks more at 169.99:

AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Thuban 3.2GHz 6 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache

But the CPU you have will run very well so if you don't want to spend the extra the CPU you chose is a good one.
