anyways, for old games you might as well use vitualization

Two registries, okay. So I would need TWO firewalls and TWO antivir?
I checked some German sites for tech marks on CPUs, and found that an i5 661 may give me 2x3.33 GHz and a good bang for the money (
190,-) , it competed nicely with the i7 in higher resolution 3D benchmarks (1650x1050 over here). That with maybe a 1156 mainboard based on H55 chips. Asus P7P55LX (
100,-), how does that sound?
Then I tend to go with a 500 GB Western Digital SATA drive with 16 MB Cache and 7200, my current WD is so silent I cannot hear it. Another
40,-
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit.
85,-
DVD writer.
30,- (?)
PSU, another unsolved question. Silent it should be, and not getting consumed to the max when the system is running at maximum CPU and GFX. Am I safe with 500W when considering 4 GB RAM (name, ~
60,- ) and something in the range of an nVidia GTX460 (768)? (
150,- )? Lets mark the PSU with
45,- . And a tower where all the stuff goes into:
70,- .
Cables I should have more than enough. Soundcard: I just use my old Audigy, if needed. It runs since 8 years or so.
The cable from my DSL, it goes directly into the mainboard, if I am not mistaken? No WLAN needed here. I am not sure,m could be that I need that RJ45 card.
15,- . Two or three additional fans:
30,- .
Well, that is the idea. Let's see:
190
100
40
85
30
60
150
45
70
15
30

815,-
Does not look too bad. My target mark was 750,- Euros.
Has anyone a tip for a German adress where to get a system comparable to this ^ for less money?
P.S.
I forgot an USB hub
. I need 7-8 ports. Costs how much? Let's say
20,- .
Makes 835,- all in all.
Bring that down by at least 80 Euros, and I am a happy customer
