I'm (possibly) buying a new computer, and found a Finnish site where you could choose all the parts and get it fully assembled. There were two packages, the other one with a Intel processor and the other one with a Amd processor. The Intel is too expensive, so I chose the Amd one. What I'm asking is that which ones would be the best parts? The price should be under 550 €.

This is the package I made (538€):

Processor: AMD athlon 64 x2 7750 BE (2,7ghz x2) (or: Athlon 64 x2 5200+(-11€))

RAM: 2gb, I have one gb on my old one which may fit the new one

HDD:250gb more than enough, I currently have 100gb

Video card: ATI Radeon HD 4670 1024 mb PCI-E (or: nVIDIA Geforce 9500GT 512 mb(-16€), or Geforce 9800GT 512 mb(+20€), or Geforce 9600GT 512mb(+24€))

Sound card: Creative SoundBlaster X-FI Xtreme

Power supply: the first one is 400W, I have absolutely no idea how big this should be.
+an integrated network card

Would this be a good one? If not, make suggestions. There are quite a lot of options, but I put the ones I could change after my own selections. The site is Finnish, but here's a link: http://www.atk-verkkokauppa.com/.
 
if you're gonna go with one of those two processors, id go with the 7750BE. Its a newer core than the 5200 and will be more power efficient and faster. Plus it looks like its a black edition, which means you can overclock the everloving hell out of it.

For video card, if you only do light gaming, that one will be fine, but if you wanna do something more demanding then you may want to go with a 4770 or something higher.
 
That particular video card wasn't on the site. The most demanding games that i'm going to play at the moment are games like Spore and The Sims (2 and 3).
