Looks good. I'd suggest you upgrade the video card to a 6800GT, if you can. Otherwise, I don't see any real problems. There's better RAM than Crucial Ballistix, but not much better and it's more expensive. It's also unecessary. You could get cheaper RAM, if you wanted. That said, you might want to get dual 1GB sticks, if you plan to be playing Battlefield 2.
