For 600 dollars its a good computer.

Instead of a Toshiba burner, try going with the Pioneer equivalent.

Edit: Also, it would be far better both money wise and uh case wise i guess to ditch the PSU and case you have selected and go with the Antec Sonata II. Comes with a 450w psu.

Edit 2: The athlon 64 motherboard that BFG makes is actually almost the exact same thing as the chaintech one (it is base off of it for sure). So if it doesn't cost much more, go with the BFG for their support and lifetime warranty.

Edit 3: Also, if the BFG 6600GT OC doesn't cost much more than what you have now, go with that.

Edit 4!!: If you can find a hard drive with NCQ, get it.

...and increase your video memory to 256MB instead of 128.

That really won't increase performance at all. Look at some benchies.

256mb cards have been a marketing gimmick for quite a few years now.

Hmm, are you saying that not even BF2 uses-up all of that local texture memory on a 128MB card? What about HL-2 and other modern titles?
