core 2 quad for cheap?

[darkchief1]

Hi guys, i was looking into picking this up, its quite cheap where i am, 350 NZD, would it be good for gaming? id either get 1 good new gpu or 2 lesser but still good gpus down the line. I can also get it overclocked to 3.3, but any higher and id put a closed loop water on it. id be playing battlefield 3, dayz, gta iv, DmC, boarderlands 2, most AAA titles from the past few years, would it be good? id also do more upgrades later like maybe ssd, psu if needed, case, cooler etc.
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Overclocked to 3.0ghz.
HDD: 640GB Sata HDD
Motherboard: Asus P5KC
Ram: 2x2gb DDR3 1333
PSU: 450w Coolermaster
GPU: Dedicated 8600gt 256mb ddr3

i wouldnt get that rig
honestly, coolermaster PSu is a nightmare
gt 8600 is power hungry and low performance

ii know it is very cheap in NZ. but what is the meaning buying dying PC.

i would prefer buy a new rig instead
