Would you consider overclocking your system? If so then I'd probably suggest an Intel based PC.

What you have there is mainly compatible but you are missing a CPU cooler since the CPU is OEM and I'd probably suggest Vista 64bit instead as it supports 4gb+ Ram should you choose to upgrade in future.

//late edit, the system below is quad core, has 4gb Ram and is a shade cheaper, the only thing is that I haven't put in the Fatal1ty version of the soundcard. I've left the case as is, I'm not a fan of the looks personally but it functions well enough for what it is.
