The new computer your going for is more than enough and won't be outdated for quite some time. I recommend just buying all the parts you listed and putting it in a nice big case. just make sure to know that the video card (285 GTX) will fit in there cause it is pretty large...

Age is really irrelevant to me unless there is a new game that is worth upgrading just to get (I had to wait 2 years after purchasing Oblivion to get a computer that could run it, and I got it just for that)
Anyways if you have an old computer then enjoy the classics. They're cheap, run well, fun, and plenty of people still play them.
