With that 32bit OS, you're not fully utilizing all 4gb of that ram either.

That's quite a budget. If you buy all the parts yourself, you can build a very nice computer.

Here's mine. I dig the clean look. I use objectdock and have it set at the top of my screen, so when I mouse up there, it pops up.

There's also a difference between just pretty graphics and technical graphics. Look at the Resident Evil remake for Gamecube. That game looked amazing because of the still environments and fixed cameras. But technically, no console game will ever touch pc games. They just don't have the power to render huge open worlds with crazy technical things going on, like in Crysis and Stalker.

Make sure you click the high quality.

Depends on what you're into. If you like single player experiences, then go for Fallout 3. If you dig multiplayer, go for COD. Can't go wrong either way, they're both great games.

A lot of those items are a lot cheaper on newegg. Here's what I would go with...

GPU: HD4870 ($194.99, $174.99 after MIR) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161236

Ram: G.Skill 4gb ddr2 800 ($49.99) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231148

CPU: Q6600 ($194.99) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115017

Mobo: P5Q ($118.99) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131295

HD: WD 640gb 7200rpm 32mb cache ($79.99) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136319

PSU: Corsair 550w ($89.99, $69.99 after MIR) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139004

DVD: Asus 22x dvd ($27.99) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135186

Total: $836.92 without shipping or MIR.

Tigerdirect seemed to overprice a lot of their items. I tried to keep some of the same components, like the mobo and cpu, and as you can see, they're a lot cheaper on newegg. Also, that psu, dvd drive, and hdd you had were waay overpriced.
