It always freaks me out how much hardware power one has to throw at Windows just to get it to do things like play games. My self-assembled setup is low end compared to everything that has been mentioned in this thread:
350W Antec PSU ASUS K8N mainboard AMD Athlon XP 2200, 64-bit 1.5 GB Crucial DDR memory Nvidia GeForce FX 5950 Ultra, AGP Soundblaster Live! Value Ubuntu Linux 8.10 For years I ran only 1GB of RAM but when the mainboard in my wife's old setup died I had to migrate her to DDR2 and inherited the older stick. With this setup I do everything. Compile, render, burn, compress and game. Over the last few years I have played everything from UT2004 to Guild Wars, WoW, Eve Online and BioShock. In each game I could not run all settings to their fullest but I kept the resolution high, shadows on, antialiasing and anisotropic filtering at 4x - even in large PvP events. It has performed wonderfully. In the Windows world my hardware is not good for anything beyond The SIMS and Solitaire.

Get a 500w psu then you can add a better vid card down the road if you want.
You don't need any more than that with the machine you've got. If you have a full, or mid tower then you can use the standard size power supply. I'm running a shuttle glamour xpc Amd Phenom 9960 2.6 ghz 4 gigs of crucial ballistix 2 500 gig Seagate Barracudas in raid 0 evga gforce 8800 gt all with a 250w psu. |

As I mentioned, though, because Linux is so much more efficient than Windows I can still play modern game titles at high resolution and with post processing effects.
