    Not too bad..not sure how much longer it will last or whatever...the processor could use some upgrading..

    and make sure u have a good enough PSU...just cuz its 500W doesnt mean its good quality..

    together the gfx card and cpu will not last you 3-4 years, 1-2 years mainly because the 3500+ is over a year old and the gpu is middle range card that performs well but not well enough, also no dx10 support. No cards support this so all cards currently on the market will not last more than 2-3 years. If you want a longer lasting machine get a 7800gt or gtx and a x2 3800+.

    Do not put your old 512mb RAM Stick in other wise you will be unable to run dual channel and you will lose performance increases. As for the psu dont use your cheap one, at least get an epower puma II however I would suggest an Antec Smart series or true power series psu above 450watt.

    It doesnt matter if its not dual rail. If its not you want it up around the mid to high 20's or even 30's on amperage.

    Do not use that psu you already have, its pretty bad. Never get a psu that is cheap as its what drives the whole system!!!

    If you are going to go the single rail path I would suggest an OCZ Powerstream or a Zippy power supply.

    BUT DON"T forgot a GOOD powersupply. You don't want a bad power supply frying all your components.
