Opinion on new computer...

A friend is buying a new computer but kinda haven't been keeping up with this stuff. What you guys think of the stuff below?

He wants a long lasting computer that will be a good gaming machine for few years but without costing a fortune. All the stuff below is from Newegg.

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83GHz LGA 775 95W Quad-Core Processor

EVGA GeForce 9800 GX2 01G-P3-N891-AR Video Card

ASUS P5Q3 DELUXE/WIFI-AP CH1-11 ATX Intel Motherboard

CORSAIR XMS3 DHX 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory

RAIDMAX SMILODON ATX-612WB530P Black Foldout MB Computer Case With Side Panel Window

TIA.

Very good it will last a long time, at least 5-6 years.

There might just be one problem, the ASUS P5Q3 Motherboard is kinda unstable, has some problems, and the wifi on it isn't to great. Better to have a P5Q Deluxe, and Buy a seperate Network Card.

Thanks guys told him and this his is new selection.

Never even heard of gtx 260 hehehe will check it out myself. How much better is it compared to my old 8800gts 640meg?

Well, if cost is remotely a concern, then downgrade the motherboard to a ddr2 variant and get 4gb of ram. Also the GX2 is somewhat outdated. Switch it out with a GTX260 or a Radeon 4870 if possible.Odysseus145

GX2 outdated? It's faster than both GTX260 and HD4870...
