Default I got $750 for a new PC

I plan on building a new computer within this next month. Obviously, not by myself. I have about $750 to build a new rig. I'm not really sure what parts I need and/or want. I'm going to be using this rig mainly for gaming, nothing serious, I don't need a "crysis rig".
I know you guys probably have tons of threads like these but if you don't ming helping, it'd be nice. I know I need a motherboard, video card, ram, hard drive, processor, disk drive, and a power supply. Other than that I don't know.
So, can you guys suggest me parts that would fit into this price range.

HDD:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148288

PSU:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817128008

RAM:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227199

$21 for 4GB of decent brand RAM w00t

disc drive... just chooose any old shit


total: after rebate 487$ insane stuff.

possiblible upgrades(seen as theres another $250 to spare, 2nd HDD, a 4870 in place of the 4850, or even a 4850X2 , e8200 or q6600 CPU in place of the e5400

all the above are personal prefernce as to whatyou want in your PC, personally I'd be tempted by the 4850X2 and leave the build as is.

edit: it will play crysis(lol)

Thanks.
If I use these, I don't know if I'll do the upgrade you were talking about. If you say that what you put together here is good enough, at least to play crysis, then I will probably just save my money.
