What Goy said.
This year I bought a similar base system 2nd hand, added the RAM, an OEM
9800 card from an overstock sale and a less noisy CPU cooler (already had a
beefier PSU) cheaply to match your specs and I am sitting it out for another
couple months (might make it another year). It still runs GTR and GTL fine,
in my book as well as, rather amazingly IMO, the recent F.E.A.R. demo
(viewing that as a good sign towards getting Half Life 2 on budget when that
comes out).
