    Skip out on vista and go with XPpro. Vista is awful for games atm, because of the lack of good drivers. You'd also need more then 2gb of ram. Vista eats up 1gb just for the OS it self leaveing you with only 1gb. Just sign up for the free upgrade to vista or for the discount upgrade to vista or if you must have it then get 64 version with 4gb ram. I still wouldn't suggest it though. It's in "beta" phase so to speak just like how vanguard is. Buggy and full of annoying crap. Wait it out.

    Everything else looks fine even though I wouldn't buy a brand name. Cheaper to build with barebones. Also upgeade to the 6600 it's a bigger improvement for a little more cash over the 6300.

    Also I suggest you go with nvidia if you're going to run an intel exclusive rig. ATI isn't very good and never will be. They just don't have the resources Nvidia does. Both have crappy drivers time and time again so don't let that be a basis. ATI is mainly more compatible with AMD and will remain so. They both have their goods/bads. Overall out of personal preference and in my opinion go with Nivida for the best performance.

    Also if you don't mind spending a bit extra don't use intergrated audio. Always causes problems unless you're running and ASUS mobo otherwise you'll get nothing but performance hits. I mean not HUGE hits, but that's just how I am.

    Welp just my opinion. Good luck.

    Do you even know from first hand experience what you are talking about when it comes to Vista? I happen to have Vista Ultimate, and you are SORELY mistaken on the resources it requires. Please no NOT guess or give your opinion on something unless you have first hand experience with the RELEASED product. Vista is faster, loads quicker, and I have not had any problem playing ANY game. I have a Radeon X700 Pro 256mb (currently upgrading to the nVidia 7900 GS in a week) along with 1 gig 533 Ram on  a 2.8 P4. Vista is fine.


     
    It pushes F.E.A.R., WoW, Eve,  Lineage II and HL2 with NO issues at all.

    My system is similar to yours, a Core2 Duo E6400, dual channel2GB DDR2 800, Nvidia 7600GT 256MB. I have VG installed on a dedicated SATA3 drive, my new "games-only" drive.I had it overclocked to 3.1Ghz, but fell back  to 2.6Ghz for heat issues running this game (time to install water cooling   )



    My system runs great with VG on balanced mode 1280x1024 w/4x anisotropy at 35fps. I can run it at high-quality mode & 16x, but it gets kind of choppy ~25 fps. I originally had XP pro x64, but I noticed some strange things. So I reinstalled with normal XP Pro 32-bit, and it is much more stable.  I definitely would not run this on a 64-bit operating system until they add 64-bit support.
