Answer 1

It's a very decent gaming set up. It would run most games at medium to high settings except perhaps Oblivion.

I'm just not familiar with EZ Cool power supply. There's very little technical specs and the sticker label is not shown. If there are no global certifications on the label (e.g. TUV, Nemko, UL, FCC, etc), I would shy away from that power supply.

Answer 2

Really nice setup that! But if you could do so i would go with the AMD Athlon X2 6000+ AM2 running at 3.00Ghz Windsor core and get it from www.overclockers.com as that's where i got mine and it was pretty cheap! It was only £124 including VAT look anywhere else and most places charge £140 and above!! Also i have the same memory too! Well worth the price! The actual setting for that memory too is 5-5-5-12 !!!!

Answer 3

Sweet...if i would build that to sell for a customer I would have added at least 150-210 dollars to the price!
