This way you'll get a decent Case, along with a 380W PSU which is plenty. A very good CPU cooler to allow you to overclock the CPU further. An 8600GTS, will run current games well and is DX10 of course. Motherboard is based on the new P35 chipset, and so will be compatible with the upcoming Penryn CPU's. DVD and HDD are fairly standard. CPU is an entry level C2D, performs well and is highly overclockable. Again, RAM is decent and highly overclockable as well.
Good luck mate.
