I'm currently looking to get myself a new gaming rig, to get some proper performance going once again. My current 5-year old P4 doesn't quite cut it anymore...

So I found this nice site which allows nearly every sensible config, and sets it up for you. So I entered in what seems to me like a good bang-for-the-buck setup.

Though it's in Dutch, I'm sure it's all pretty understandable. So, to you hardware gurus out there: What do you think? Any suggestions?

To get the best bang for your buck:
1. Change motherboard to one with a P45 chipset.
2. Do not get DDR3 RAM, get 800MHz DDR2 (4-4-4-12 timings)
3. If you REALLY have to get an operating system with it, Get XP PRO. Home is useless and quite bad tbfh. Not to mention you need XP PRO 64x to be able to use all 4gb of RAM.
