Some of you may know I consider myself to be a hardware illiterate. I can fix my computer and I understand software, it's just I'm not good with hardware. This is demonstrated by my computer, which has less than half a gig of RAM.

However, it appears that I, somewhat unwittingly, will most likely be getting a new desktop (oh, the humanity!), so I decided to have a little fun, since, due to (legal) inexplicable reasons, this is free up to a certain point. As a result, I figured now is as any to get into PC gaming, so ladies and gentlemen, here is the rig I'm looking at getting. Not all of it is set in stone, but it looks that way.

Dell XPS 630 (with Red Bezel)
Intel Core 2 Q6600 Quad-Core Processor (2.40 GHz)
Dual ATI Radeon HD3870 512 MB Video Cards
Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Sound Card
4GB of Ram
500 GB 7200 RPM Hard Drive
Dell A252 30 Speakers
Logitech G15 Keyboard
Microsoft Sidewinder Mouse
ViewSonic VX2255wmb (1680x1050...monitors come this big?!)

Final price: obscene, to be blunt. I can't believe people spend this kind of money on a machine. Then again, I've never had one :P.

Because I'm hardware illiterate, any comments would help. I'm mainly going off my research and recommendations here. Oh, and I've checked; I believe it canrun Crysis.
