That CPU cooler is really good and you picked a good motherboard. But that processor needs a little work.

Here's the same setup as I made up for another gamer in which budget was important:

This config will allow you to play the games you want:

AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Venice 1GHz FSB 512KB L2 Cache Socket 939 Processor - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103533

CORSAIR XMS 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit System Memory - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145450

BFG Tech BFGR68256GTOCX Geforce 6800GT 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card - Retail

Plus you may want to get an exhaust blower for another $15 something dollars. This sound card is nice and you can add this on to the total price:

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS GAMER Limited Edition 70SB035000013 8 (7.1) Channels 24-bit 192KHz PCI Interface Sound Card - Retail

Everything else you had is pretty good.

Your welcome. Another thing, if you're going to be using the Zalman cooler, you won't need the retail CPU to help reduce the cost. Get the OEM one and save a bundle. You'll need Artic Silver thermal compound to mesh that with your new CPU.
