Will this work?

Processor Intel Core 2 Duo E7500
Memory Kingston 2GB DDR2-800 (I presume this is RAM)
Hard drive W.Digital 500 GB Sata2
Video PCIE HD4350 1024mb DDR2
ONE-931 Core 2 Duo/2GB/500/ DVDRW
Windows 7 Home Basic

Well for starters - yes it will work. But I would defeinately do some tweaking if I were you...

#1 - No Less than 4GB of RAM (I'd actually recommend 6 or 8GBs)
#2 - Lose the Core2Duo. It's an outdated and old chip and unless you're getting it for a song and dance, nix it. Minimum, go with a Core2Quad but better yet, spend the extra few bucks for an i5 or i7. Personnally, I'd recommend an AMD Athlon II Quad-Core or a Phenom II Quad-Core. Lot more "bang-for-the-buck" out of AMD imho.
#3 - Lose the Home Basic. Go with Home Premuim 64bit (so you can utilize 4+ GBs of RAM). It's only a couple of bucks to upgrade, and the lack of headaches will make it absolutely worth it.
#4 - Depending on what they're charging you for the video card, a 4350 could be a good deal or a complete rip off. It's an older card that will perform nicely on SH3 but might struggle a bit with SH5. Again, I'd recommend minimum a 4550/4570 here with 512MB of GDDR2 (or GDDR3) to get the most longetivity out of your purchase and it won't cost you alot more than a 43xx series.
