Dug out some other parts. Going to knock up a Core 2 era system since I reckon that's a relatively decent mix of retro hardware but not being too retro. I've got a couple of boards with a variety of CPUs - an E6600 and a couple of Quads, one being a Q8400 and can't remember what the other is.
The best old card I've got kicking around is a GeForce 7900 GTX which might be a bit too old for a Core 2 era build as it was out in 2006. What would people suggest for games of this era? I'm thinking a GTX 285 would be roughly period correct and a good enough card for the time.
Arguably the 7900 GTX and Core 2 Duo were both out in 2006 so that wouldn't be a bad pairing, but the Q8400 was from 2009.
