Barton Processors run hot, at least I have heard so, so it may be a bad idea for gaming.  Dont rely on me, but Id spend a few extra bucks and get a better processor.

You might enjoy a CD-ROM drive as well.

The 2600+ will be fine for gaming, They dont run to hot with a standard heatsink if you use it at default speed. If you wanna O/c the cpu then you should buy an after-market fan, doesnt take anythig special to keep it cool round 3200+ speeds from my experience (built around 6 Amd machines for freinds and family) you are also missing ram there less you are switching it over? i would reccomend pc3200(400mhz) if you plan to over-clock the system i prefer corsair but there are several decent brands, two sticks at the same rating will also give you an improvment over a single stick

that lil fan will be fine at normal settings its designed to run it at default, It only becomes weak when you exceed its limits which you say you will not? Sounds like a waste really, Id think you would be better of buying good case fans
*(is there much diffrence in price for 2X256 as apposed to 512?)
