Building a good gaming PC for under $1000 AUD

Hi Everyone, im trying to build a good gaming rig for christmas and wondered if you could help me. I have a tight budget of $1000 Aussie Dollars and i have a screen, keyboard, mouse and speakers. It must be able to play:
Wow-Must
COD4-Maybe
Counter-Strike 1.6 & Source-must

Case: Thermaltake Soprano Black with 430W PSU 1 Price $129.00 au
HDD: Seagate SATAII NCQ 1TB 7200RPM 32mb Cache 1 Price $174.00 au
RAM (MEMORY): Kingston DDR2 2048MB(2x1G)PC6400 800Mhz HyperX CL4 (KHX6400D2LLK2/2GN) 1 Price $57.00 au
Graphics: Gigabyte GF9600GT 1G 256bit DDR3 PCIE2.0 2xDVI-I HDCP 1 Price $199.00 au
MotherBoard: Intel CORE2QUAD Q8200/2.33GHz/4MB/1333FSB/LGA775/QUAD CORE 1 Price $296.00 au
CPU: Gigabyte GA-EG41MF-S2H S775 G41 FSB1333 4DDR2 VGA PCIEx16 4SATA2 GbLAN 1 Price $179.00 Au
Total : $1034.00 au

List of games this can run would be good.

 

That should play World of Warcraft perfectly fine.

 

If those are the games you want to play buying a 4870 is a big waste of money. At most go with a 4850.

 

its ok, dont worry about this thread as i got a friend irl to help me and we got the following:
Thermaltake Soprano Black with 430W PSU 1 Price $129.00 au
Seagate SATAII NCQ 1TB 7200RPM 32mb Cache 1 Price $174.00 au
Kingston DDR2 2048MB(2x1G)PC6400 800Mhz HyperX CL4 (KHX6400D2LLK2/2GN) 1 Price $57.00 au
Gigabyte GF9600GT 1G 256bit DDR3 PCIE2.0 2xDVI-I HDCP 1 Price $199.00 au
Intel CORE2QUAD Q8200/2.33GHz/4MB/1333FSB/LGA775/QUAD CORE 1 Price $296.00 au
Gigabyte GA-EG41MF-S2H S775 G41 FSB1333 4DDR2 VGA PCIEx16 4SATA2 GbLAN 1 Price $179.00 Au
Total : $1034.00 au

New question, would this computer with above specs be able to play crysis?

 

Yes it would. Although don't expect to play on max settings without lag with that 9600GT.

 

Graphics: Gigabyte GF9600GT 1G 256bit DDR3 PCIE2.0 2xDVI-I HDCP 1 Price $199.00 au = crap

Get an 8800GT for less, or an ati 4850

Get a cheaper processor
Spend more on the video card.

 

I already have the the parts listed above, just wondering if it could play the games currently on the market.

 

A 9600 can play every game on the market.

It won't be able to play all games as Highest/Max detail/graphics setting, But it will be able to play them all.

It will just about play Crysis at Medium Graphics.

If you can stretch to a 8800Gts/x then do so, but a 9600 is plentiful to play all the games.

 

That will play all those games on max settings easy..
Cod4 might only get 45ish fps though depends on what rez youre using i had one and it got me around 60 with my rig on 1440x900

 

9600 cannot play half the games on max quality unless you got a 1024*786 resolution.
