Hi guys, I'm wondering if this is a good custom gaming pc?

specs:
motherboard - ASRock 3N78D
cpu - AMD Phenom II X4 960T 3,0GHz Black Edition
gpu - XFX Radeon HD6870 1024MB
ram - Corsair 4GB (2x2048MB) CL9 1600Mhz XMS3 1,5V
hard drive - 160GB Western Digital Caviar Blue
psu - XFX Core Edition 550W 80+ Bronze
case - cooler master elite 310
front fan - Fractal Design 120mm Silent Series

Any opinions? This is my first time building a custom computer so I may have even chosen parts that wouldn't fit together

thanks in advance

Looks OK...I'd get a bigger HDD though, you'll soon fill that up!

AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE Rev. C3 (95watts) or AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE (125watts)

HDD far too small and slow - 500GB Seagate or Samsung

Only 4 SATA ports @ 3Gb/s - at least 2 x 6Gb/s would be better

nForce 720D MCP - prefer ATI SB8xx chipset

probably better: http://3xs.scan.co.uk/ShowSystem.asp?SystemID=979 gpu is probably a little weaker, you could do better than what you've been offered.
edit - sorry forgot this that was ex vat.
