Decent gaming PC?

Intel core 2 Quad Q6600 quad core processo

BFG 8800 gt oc 512 mb

1000 GB hard drive

3 GB DDR2 Dual Channel memory

windows vista

Im not so bright with computers so i wasnt so sure if it was decent

If it was me I would get rid of the quad and go for a higher end dual core, next get rid of that 3 Gb and stay with 2gb or go ahead and get 4gb to have dual channel, 2gb/4gb in dual channel runs faster than 3gb in single channel.04dcarraher

He said he is getting 3 gigs of ram in dial channel. It is possible! 2x1gb and 2x512mb There you go

lol are you trying to sound smart or something?

i highley doubt thats what he meant

its a good comp but if you bought it pre-build you wont be able to overclock

id say switch the 3 gigs to 2 gigs or 4 gigs in dual channel

It's good, but how much are you paying for it? you might be able to get something better for cheaper.McJugga

I actually got it all from my friend for 600$, He desperatly wanted a PS3 :)

I believe he got most of the parts at his best buy and he had to buy the 8800gt with it.

By the way whats dual channel?

it's a pretty good rig. not able to max out crysis, but nothing is :p

you got it for a really good price too!

As Long as I can play crysis at all im set :)

Well that an mass effect.

Id get a Dual core (e8400, e8200, e3750)

Spend a little more and get a 8800gts (only like $20-30 more I believe)

He's not building that, he bought it from his friend for $600. For $600 that's a steal.

It is a good gaming PC, you could run Crysis no problem, maybe medium settings. Some high. It's like my dads PC, cept he has an 8600Gt and you have an 8800GT, I can run Crysis on his computer on medium with 30 FPS, you should have no trouble with Crysis.

What part of my rig do you guys think is lacking?Pvt_r3d

nothing its a great rig.

How long do you guys think this PC will last before it becomes out dated or another PC destroyer like crysis shows up?Pvt_r3d

about a year

I would step down to 2gb of quality 800mhz pc2-6400 ram

also.. get two 250GB HDDs and run them in RAID 0 . Youll be flying!
