You don't really need that fast of a cpu ... I remember my sister playing sof2 very well with a p3-400mhz!! -- it's all about the gpu

Also, you don't really need that big an hd -- so you can cut that estimate in half. If you want to storage, get a separate raided unit later on. For daily use, 60g is plenty (and that's only if you have 40g worth of songs).

I use to play.

Sof2 on a 333mhz celeron and 16meg vcard vodoo3 baby.   But if I'm buying a new system I'd play some new games not just open source ones.   So the extra cpu and a good vcard will be needed.
