Ok I dont know much about computers and Im trying to make a list of parts for Christmas and need your help. Not sure what I need though but atm I have:
Case
Mobo + Processor
RAM
GPU
PSU

What else do I need?



You got a hard drive?

And I guess they will all come with cables.

Osht. Just added one


that's pretty much it, I think

OS upgrades?
Monitor?
Keyboard/mouse?

I see you have the GTS 450 listed .

Its performance is located between te Radeon HD 5750 (Starting at $125) and the Radeon HD 5770 (Starting at $140), although it’s closer to the 5750.

Priced at $130, it’s a tough sell when you can either get the much faster Radeon HD 4870 for $120 or when considering that it doesn’t perform as well as the Radeon HD 5770 ($140) and consumes more power, according to both AnandTech’s review of the Geforce GTS 450 as well as Guru3D’s review of the Geforce GTS 450.

DX 11 makes it about even with the 4870 IMO

I would drop the 850w PSU for a 600. Use the money you have left to get a gtx 460.

The 450 isn't very good for the cost.
