My concerns is more about get this system secure to use on the internet.(muliplayer games as task)(maybe there is still a battlefield II server online)

Why don't you find out what games still have an online presence, and then decide what you need? Any game that still requires an XP machine with a particular configuration in order to be played is likely to have a very, very small online community.

I think that would be to much time consuming

You would rather go to great lengths to configure a system to provide specific features that you may never, ever need? Don't you think that would be more time consuming?

If there are no online games that you actually want to play that somehow require an XP installation, then there is no point in worrying about securing your XP installation for Internet usage.

The Geforce GTX 285 is nice as it isnt as power hungry as the GTX 280 and performs even better! It needs more power than a GTS 250 though.

Well I found a Gigabyte GTX 285 locally for AUD 59 shipped. Was a BIN, so I grabbed it.
