    Several issues:

    What resolution is the monitor? I doubt its 1080p anyway!
    You're probably better with a cheap tri-core CPU for gaming.
    RAM is wrong - you have DDR2 listed. You neeed DDR3.
    Graphics are a bit pricey, given you can get a HD5750 1GB that's nearly as good (prior to OCing... ;)) for €100 on Pixmania. Would you really need a HD5770 instead for nearly twice as much with a 19" monitor? :o
    Case is decent enough
    PSU is naff. At these power levels you can safely get away with a much more stable and reliable Corsair CX400.

    why not just bump the dual to a tri and get a motherboard with a core unlocker on it; turns it into a quad.

    arrrghhhh, not enough info thread

    What games do you want to play? GTA IV will run like crap but bioshock 2 will run well

    Are you sure you want 2 DVD-RAM drives?

    10 Watt speakers will be kinda rubbish, honestly 10W speakers would be okish with a subwoofer but definately not without, but its down to taste :)
