I would change that q8200 please! Its the worst quad core you can buy mate. Your going for a dead socket now aswell, so mabey look at Amd builds mate.

The Q8200 is the weakest of the Quad Core familiy but for games is more than enough.

As above, I wouldnt be building a new build based around socket 775, its End Of Line
If you can up the budget to 700 you can get a very nice i5 system if you want to stick with intel, or yeah Id go AMD, check out the thread in my sig for ideas if you like

Wont bother with Q8200, go with a AMD build.
