Homebuilt system - opinions

Not dabbled with computer innards for years, but recently took on the challenge of building my Dad a new cheap but capable computer. Enjoyed it so much, I've kept it for myself! Playing Flight Sim for first time since the late 90's and rather enjoying it! Anyway for a total price of £263 I've got...

Unbranded cheap mATX case
600w power supply
Asrock n68 motherboard
4gb ddr3 ram
Sempron 140 (using motherboard, second core unlocked, now overclocked and running as Athlon x2 at 3.0ghz!)
500gb seagate sata hdd
blu ray/dvd ROM
Sapphire 5670 512mb ddr5 graphics card

Loaded an old copy of windows xp, and currently running at full HD resolution on my 37inch tv. So saving more money. Windows 7 and big monitor to come at later date. Thoughts and opinions? I feel this is a pretty awesome spec for the price, just bought Crysis as well which looks good!
