Im looking to get some feedback on a build to see if it will fit my needs. My budget is at a max of around 1600.00. Im most interested in playing games like Skyrim and the upcoming FPS (COD and BF3) I need to know the build will run them ( I know the specs are not out for them ) and that it will run well on my 40 inch bedroom tv,

Config number is 564267.
I believe the plasma upstairs is 780 res.
Forgive me im not very tech savy. Id rather not go above 1600.00 as this system isnt a need but a toy my wife is generous enough to let me pursue.

oh, that is low res, I also like to point out the tv is not the best place to play your games, monitors are better.
