If you give us a budget, I'm sure we can sort you out a good spec.

Some of the parts above are quite dated.

£500 tops. Have a copy of vista which I will be running.

Looks like a nice gaming rig for not much money, couple of suggestions:

Drop the Case down to an antec 300 and use the money saved to bump up the CPU to one of the 45nm AMD dual cores, this or this.

Also, spend the extra £8 and get this faster and larger capacity HDD.

Are you needing a DVD drive?

As for operating system, is your copy of vista 64 bit? If not Windows 7 is free until March 2010, in case you didn't already know.

All else looks great.
