If I were you, i would get an AMD for a gaming computer. You can get a better AMD for the same price. Also, you should bump up the memory to 1GB. Otherwise nice build!

what would you recommend?

A AMD Athlon 64 3500+ would be fine

Yeah I'm looking at getting a single 1g RAM stick, and my budget is dunno, I'm just buying pieces at a time I don't need it running in a week but it sure would be nice so some where around $1200 or so.
