With that graphics card there, you'll be able to play games quite decent. But for the other specs, eh... well it certainly qualifies somewhat. Just don't expect to crank it up to 30-35 frames on Crysis.

You won't even be able to run any modern games with 1GB memory.

Afairly mediocre system all around, it will run games (after you get more than 1 gig of ram that is), just don't expect too much out of it; definately expect to crank down the settings/resolutions down on most games. Crysis will mostly definately run bad at any resolution over 1280x1024 + and with high setting.

i would upgrade the ram. and im not sure if your motherboard can do it but i would buy another 5670 and crossfire. and a better processor and your system will be beast.

You'll need a better CPU and some more RAM might want to get like 4GB of RAM if you can :)

actually just one more stick to take you to 2 gigs will be enough. More is better but this will at least make it playable.

The C2D in the OP's system can be pushed a bit further; maybe to 2.5GHz before requiring a voltage boost.

I might even recemend going from your Core duo to a C2D e7500 or better for future proofing. Or if your comfortable overclocking you can do that too.

CPU

Intel Core2 Duo E7500 Wolfdale 2.93GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor Model BX80571E7500 - Retail

PSU

RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-630SS 630W Modular LED Power Supply - Retail

RAM

I'm guessing ddr2 800

Crucial Ballistix Tracer 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) ... - Retail

Throw all this in and you have a Monster machine

The graphics card is just holding your comp up in the decent area, but you will need more ram and you might want to think about upgrading that processor if you really want a true gaming rig.
