Much faster RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB)
Faster HDD : SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3. You can keep your HDD if it's a budget issue. But do change the RAM.
Better ODD brand - Samsung/Sony/LG : LG SATA 22X DVD Burner
Now the really important thing is that even at your resolution, you'd do well to get a better GPU - Radeon HD 5770 for gaming. If budget is an issue, drop down to the Athlon II X3 440. Games don't use 4 cores anyways. GPU power is mostly what counts more than CPU power.
