I'd suggest you take it back, get a branded computer replacement (Dell, HP, etc.) and work with that for a while. I don't think putting a PC together is in your best interest given what you've written.
Re: Your out-of-memory questions - the games should still run, and shouldn't crash as you've seen. Please let us know what happens when you try another game.
What does the application log and system log (event logs) say about all of this?
Can you tell us again the exact problem you now have?
