Ok every person out there or who ever says a x6 is no good for gaming well for a fact at least mine does great.

So it is a AMD Phenom II x6 2.8MHg 4 GB ddr3 Win 7 64 bit home edition a asus m4a89gtd pro/usb3 mobo Hatichi 1 TB HDD a dvd\cd rom an internal gpu 4290 radeon ati I think but not sure.

I just got done playing Supreme Commander Forged Alliance with graphics at like medium some on low and off even not sure what rez it was at but it wasn't default rez onbord sound I used and it was very nice.

This mobo comes with a core unlocker and a gpu booster turbo 4 and 5 I believe but at any rate if you are trully are interestied in knowing what all this mobo has just look for it on the net.

I'm using a HDTV 32" for the monitor and I do have mouse a key board already.

Any how I don't plan on ocing any ways and if someone does say that there x4 is better then my x6 well tell me this will it ever magically turn into a x6 from a x4 with out having to change the chip physically. If so I would love to know how it would be done but if now well then mine is better and would kick your pc any o day as long as it wasn't oced but any how this is just how I feel.

Your cpu has very little to do with the pc's ability to play games. The most important factor is your GPU. All you want from your cpu is at least 2 cores and nothing slower than 2.4Ghz so the cpu doesn't bottle neck the GPU. BTW congratulations on your first build glad to hear everything went smoothly.

Thank you very much and I do plan to get a 5770 gpu card later when I get more money or when the price begen to drop a bit more. Also it didn't go that smoothly but that is a whole different store all to gether but bottom line is that it works and it runs a game that would take half a day on my old dual core cpu.

Yea well that is what I did plan to do but for right now I won't put it in cause it puts off so much heat from it . Even though my case has pleny of air flow the problem will be all of the heat from with in will be in my room and I don't want that to happen again. I forgot to mention but my case is the Cooler Master 932 full tower HAF black tower case with 3 230 mm fans 1 140 fan and the ability to put more 120mm fans on the bottom of case also I got a ultra 750 watt psu with a 135mm fan on it. So in my opion this is one bad looking maching but it will be even better with a 5770 gpu inside of it also one of the 230mm fans has a red led and it isn't very annoying either. This pc is so quiet that the only noise I can hear is when the dvd rom starts up and when the HDD is doing something other then that it is well and trully wisper quiet. I just love thie machine.

I also have a HAF 932 with two 8800GT's. That 5770 will produce just as much heat as that 8800gt, so you might as well use it.

I have to agree with this, TC - you improved upon every aspect that could affect gaming by building a new PC with a faster CPU, faster and a larger amount of ram and a faster and larger hard drive. But, you force almost everything to run at a lower framerate by putting the 4200 in instead of your already available 8800gt. The term bottleneck is often used when people deem a cpu to slow down/hold back a video card but in this case your bottleneck is coming from the video card itself.
