I bought a little notebook a month and a half ago for playing this game primarily and it runs great at high settings without hiccups.

However, my current desktop is REALLY showing its age with it 8800GTS and old Phenom processor.

So I wanted to get a new one, mostly for OB and FO3 but I'd also be playing newer games if possible.

I configured this from buyxg.com, does this seem good for my money to get the best possible performance from these games?

I would then buy http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102883&cm_re=5870-_-14-102-883-_-Product and add it in myself(to save a little extra).

Does this sound good?

It's ok...not liking the power supply so much. The Corsair 650W is better than that. And those speakers are garbage...not even worth $5.
