You might want to consider a Core i5 650. It is a dual core, but it has hyper threading so it has 4 "logical" processors. It can be had for $149.99 at certain places in the US, not sure about Norway.

See if you can get an OEM version of Windows 7 instead of the retail. W7 Ultimate 64-bit OEM is only like $179.99 in the US and W7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM is $104.99. Not sure if you can get it in Norway.

The video card is indeed a bit weak. A GT 240 wouldn't cost that much more and it would be a nice improvement while still retaining the latest technology since it's built on a 40nm process.

If you have the money, get a GTX 260 Core 216 (make sure it's the 55nm version). It's currently the best value card on the market.
