Celerons are horrible. As it has no cache which is vital in a lot of games. 256 is a bit low for most games now. I would recommend at least 512. That video card absolutely blows. If you plan on playing todays games with some eye candy, at least a Radeon 9600 PRO.

I am also betting that mother board doesn't have a AGP slot. Which will hurt you in the long run. If you want to upgrade your video card later you will be left with only PCI video cards, and you don't want to go near those.

I would highly recommend you either save up for a better rig or if you can't wait to save up some spare cash, I would go with with either one of these rigs. Maybe a little more expensive, but in the long run it will be much better.

iBuyPower---$423(US)

ABS PC---$499(US)

Again, if you could, saving up money would be the best bet. For a good gaming rig, $1000 would be good. Also the next gen video cards are coming out, which means most of the rigs that carry the old gen will be cheaper.
