For gaming it will handle just about whatever you want.

As for any changes, i would consider droping the CPU back to a 2.2Ghz quadcore as (from memory) the price rise to the 2.4Ghz is like £100 for nothing more than a 10% performance gain.

Everything else looks good

Funnily enough I did actually drop back to the 2670 before ordering :p
