I built my last couple of computers but find myself lacking the time (and energy) to put together another one.

Here is what I am looking for :
Basic web browsing, email, office products
Have digital camera, need lots of storage for pics and mp3
Want to eventually network this comp with another one (hardwire, not wireless)
Needs to work with DSL
Want cool and quiet comp
And most important want to play my games... WoW, HL2, BF2, Halo2, etc.

So my BIG question is ... will this work to meet my needs ? (Other than adding some software).

If it is lacking, where ? If I need to upgrade later on, where am I going to run into problems ?
Thanks in advance for the advice and tips =)
