I've been looking into building my first PC and have narrowed down the parts that i think should all work well together.
These are the Parts:
CPU:AMD Phenom II X4 925

(I have allready purchased this)
Motherboard:http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3412#ov
RAM:Kingston ValueRAM 4GB(2x2GB) DDR3 1333 Mhz

(Is 4GB ram overkill? Is it allright to go with the 1333 rather than a higher Mhz?)
Case: Thermaltake V3 Black edition with 450W PSU and one 120mm fan

HD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB

Have not yet decided on CD/DVD drive and will wait before getting a new Graphics card as integrated ATI Radeon HD 4250 graphics on motherboard should suffice for a while.
Will not be used to play many games mainly Civ V, Diablo 3 or any other PC exclusives as i prefer consoles.
Keep in mind that im not from the US and instead come from New Zealand where the prices are higher and the choice is a bit more limited.
Any advice would be appreciated.
