1. Processor
Core 2 Duo (775) Intel E8400 3.00GHz 6MB with Scythe Infinity cooler (that's the one I've currently, but I think it will work well with this processor, right?)
2. Motherboard
Asus P5B Premium (P965 2xPCI-E SATA2 DDR2) : http://uk.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=307&l4=0&model=1558&modelmenu=1
3. Memory
DDRAM2 OCZ 4096MB 800MHz Reaper EPP HP XL CL4 (2x2048) : http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_pc2_6400_reaperx_hpc_enhanced_bandwidth_4gb
4. Power supply
Corsair 750W CMPSU-750TXEU BOX : http://www.corsairmemory.com/products/tx.aspx
In the future I want to buy Radeon 3870X2 (probably - it has a nice price) in order to play in 1600x1200 on highest settings (hopefully).
One more thing : I have an old ATA disk - will it be a huge bottleneck in this system?
