You should have saved money by buying an E6600 and some nice cpu cooler and oc'ing the 6600 to 6800+ level, while spending some cash on a 2nd GB of RAM. BF2 likes RAM, you know ^^
Also, two hard drives with 250GB in RAID0 would've been HELLALOT better, and still with my advice you'd have spent the same cash, while enjoying a lot more value... :-/

Or wait, are you just planning to buy this rig? If so, mind my advice, please!

6600 instead of 6700: -200$
CPU fan: +30$ (a sufficient one for oc'ing to 6800+ level)
2GB RAM instead of 1: +100$
2x 250 RAID 0 instead of 320: +50$

So you even save 20$!
Uhm, yes... and if you don't want to overclock, still take the 6600, that little difference is never worth 200$...
