That's a pretty standard price considering you're adding Windows 7. :bigok:

Is the processor pre-clocked @ 3.2 GHz? If so, Try to get it un-preclocked and then clock it yourself.

I have 4GB of GDDR3 ram in my pc and it does pretty well, so you're good on that.
I have a 1TB HDD. Only for storage, but not bad.
Badass graphics gard. I have an nVidia Geforce 8600 GTS
Windows 7 I'mn going to get, but don't have it yet.
I think I have an 850 Watt PSU. I'd def. look @ upgrading if you're going to be doing some serious gaming.

I've played alot of the new games "NBA 2K10, Sims 3, Nation Red" and I am yet to have ANY issue at all out of mine and TBH, you're specs are better then mine. Not by a long shot, but they are better. So you should be fine playing any game on the market. Maybe not HIGH HIGH settings on highest resolution tho. I play my games at 1024x768 and my max res is 1920x1200. It doesn't really bother me tho.

Are you worried about money? If not, I would spend the little bit extra it would cost to get an i7 920 processor.

11-29-2009, 12:44 PM

Looks pretty good but lose that 500gb harddrive get a samsung f3 1tb $63

Lose that ddr2 memory might as well get ddr3 (might have to change your motherboard)

Lose that thermaltake powersupply get a corsair,ocz,antec etc. the top brand and 80 plus certified.

You could build it yourself.......... But if something goes wrong you gotta know how to troubleshoot and figure out how to test each part and figure which one is bad which can be a headache for someone who doesnt have extra parts to test it with

Oh and you don't need a damn i7 AMD!!
