So I decided to whip together a new PC for playing some games, nothing too fancy but I want it to run the newer games and last a good year or so.
I've been pricing things up and got some sort of idea of what I think I'm after. I just wondered if anybody has a similar setup (seems a common mid-range setup) and what their experience is with running games?
Also any other recommendations or anything I should change / rethink? The basic setup has:
I'm no expert when it comes to this, not sure if the RAMs worth changing? Any advice appreciated really.
I'm willing to splash out more if its worth it or if I won't get the performance I'm after.

Code:
Intel® Core™ 2 Quad Q8200 Processor (2.4GHz, 4MB L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB)
8GB 800MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM
512MB ATI Radeon HD 4850 Graphics OR 512MB nVIDIA GeForce 9800GTX+
