Decent processor. I would look at some of this PC2 6400, Patriot memory, 2 gigabytes ($35 after mail in rebate):

I don't know about your choice of a video card.

I'd say for a budget build that's a nice system.

You don't need much to play warrock, I have played that on my sempron 1.8, radeon xpress 200m laptop. 1.25 gigs of ram.

But you should have a pretty solid budget gaming computer.

Yea man Warrock is nice. I suck but me and few guildies played it for a few months and its probably the best free game that i know of.

Unless you plan on never moving that case or you are extremely careful...dont get it. Also you can over tighten screws and crack it. I had one there ok, but id go with something else.

Looks pretty nice to me. It will do nice mid-range gaming and certainly is on the right price scale! I do agree with getting PC6400 memory if possible though.

But for the price, everything looks fine!

It is OK. However I personally will not choose 945GC chipset. Get a G31 such that you can upgrade in future.

GIGABYTE GA-G31M-S2L / MSI G31M-F LGA 775 Intel G31

RAM: Why don't you choose DDR2 800? The OCZ gold 2 x 1GB DDR2 800 at the similar price!
By the way, I would get G.SKILL F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ/ CORSAIR TWIN2X2048-6400C4 instead

?? I believe a 8600GTS is better than 8600GT...

 

[zer0_c00l]

that case is wild....cant hide any wires in that one.. good thing is you wont need any lights in the room you put it in...

+1 to that, its the order of things, the GTS beats the GT no matter of overclocks

XFX's GDDR3 8600GT can get quite close to a 8600GTS's performance after OCing.
