These guys at the site I listed are serious gamers, they can advice you about your system, and if better ones available, they know their stuff.

Hope this helps

Very nice chocie of CPU, but 512MB isn't much. I suggest 1GB even if you don't play that much games and etc. Save up for better video card

But for now, use that one.
