If you're aiming for a gaming rig, you failed.

And you don't know shit.

How the hell does that video card cost the same as the RAM?

Because it's open box, witch means someone has returned it upon opening the box so its a reduced price.

No, it's actually a decent gaming rig.

2.5 GHz with quad core is great, and your graphics card is pretty good, enough to run most games other than Crysis on almost all optimal settings.

Now all you need is a good power supply (get at least 600W, I recommend Antec Earthwatts) and a good case (I recommend Antec 900 or some other good looking and reasonably priced case).

Also you need a good monitor, unless you're happy with the current one you have.

i can run crysis on everything on low with my geforce 6150 se. its not good though. the case i got there comes with a power supply. and i have a 19 inch acer lcd monitor wich im very happy with.

Warning.

Most power supplies that come with cases are very low end power supplies, and inadequate power supplies mean doom for your parts.

Invest in a good case and a good power supply.

Trust me on this.

Get a case with the power supply bay located on the bottom, not the top. It's more efficient and safe for your PSU with the PSU on the bottom.

Yeah, the case i have listed there is only 300 w but i found another great deal and the case is very sexy with a huge fan. this case here...

Spend an extra $20 and get the Intel Quad Q6600, easily overclocked and get the GIGABYTE GA-EP43-DS3L LGA 775 mobo to go with it.

RAM is so cheap, it's probably worth getting 4gb and an x64 OS.

Just to add, it's worth spending the extra $5 on decent thermal paste.

550w PSU will be ample.
