Alright im looking to build a system for around $600 or $800. It doesn't have to be high end im just looking for something that will play games such as bf2 and fear pretty well. The main thing is i am looking to move my ram to my next rig which will more than likely be built around the release of crisis and will run a quad core proc. So i would like to just buy my ram now for this machine and hopefully maybe move it over to the future one when it comes time. If this is a bad idea please let me know if not please suggest some ram. I would like to go 2x1gb preferably. And since i will be running a quad core i don't know what kind of power supply i will need. Im thinking somewhere in the 800w range? I do not plan on running vista on this system. going to wait till the next one after all the driver issues are resolved
So far ive got this.

I understand there are extras that arent included such as hard drives, coolers etc. but im taking some of that stuff from my current rig. And will be buying all new stuff for the future rig when the time comes. This all will be running on a 22'' monitor.
Basically im planning on the processor, motherboard, and video card be obsolete when it comes time to upgrade but would like to minimize buying other parts as much as possible.
