Hi, I am a student and currently am going to build a new system with the help of the people in the PC shops. I live in Malaysia and I am a casual gamer, only play a few games on the PC. I want a new system that would last for at least 5 years without giving me any problems. So here is my system that I would like to build, please give me your comments, thanks! =)

2.40 GHz Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q6600
3 GB DDR2 800 MHz RAM
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium
Gigabyte GeForce 9500 GT Graphic Card (1GB DDR2) - Nvidia: I am not too sure about the model number, I just know its in the GeForce 9500 series and its 1GB DDR2.
Western Digital 500 GB Hard Disk
Gigabyte motherboard with Intel P35 Chipset.
Pioneer DVD burner

1. Get 4 gigs of ram. It will help when running in dual channel and wont cost much more.
2. Replace the 9500GT with at least an ATI 4670. Even if it is just casual gaming, the 4670 is twice as fast as the 9500GT at around the same price and power consumption. Cant go wrong with that!
3. What power supply where you thinking of getting? I would recommend that you purchase a high quality, name brand power supply from someone like Corsair or PCP&C.
4. Overall everything else is fine.
