Re: Converting over
The new computer your going for is more than enough and won't be outdated for quite some time.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...

Re: Converting over
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.
