Only changes I would make are maybe try for 4gb's of ram, and try for a different PSU... maybe PC Power & Cooling, Corsair etc. 550-600watt should be fine

sorry... PSU is power supply unit. Don't skimp on it, as this powers the whole computer, and you want the best power possible for your parts. Also I would defiantely get 4gb for vista, especially for running games, as Vista is a bit of a resource hog.

Yea go with 4gb of ram as it does not cost that much more. You will notice ahuge increase in closing games and stuff. Vid card is powerful too.

Go with a Corsair PSU at 550-600 watt and it should be plenty, and give you room for later upgrades. I don't think DDR3 memory comes in 800mhz, just 1066 upwards I believe... you pretty much won't notice a thing between say 1066 and 1333

PSU might need upgraded but more than anything I think updating the RAM to 4GB's would make the largest difference.
