    Ram is good. Processor is very solid, the Q9650s are nice

    9800GT? Not so great when compared to the processor. As long as you’re building a decent system, I’d at least match it with a 260 GTX, or something in that range

    And yeah, you might want to up the wattage to 550 or 600

    3.0 GHZ??! That computer will own at gaming, trust me.

    thats a pretty good system. Not absolutely top of the line, but definitely a decent system for about 700 or less.

    try a more powerful power supply

    i use a 550w and have almost the same configuration

    but the 550w seems to be straining so i’d go with a 600w just to be safe

    if you play a game like crysis on high res. expect some lag but otherwise it should be fine

    very.

    what you care about here is the Graphics Card (they’re usually around 512 MB, 1 GB is excellent) and Random Access Memory, or RAM- which can only be 4GB in laptops.

    These are the things that make your computer run more efficiently and quickly and enhance video and other graphic displays.

    It should be great considering all of its components

    you will be sound with that
    although i would recommend a PSU upgrade. 450W may not cut it if your 9800gt gets into full load lol it eats power i just got a 600w psu for mine

    don’t know if ur buying or building but this is my reference mag for true gaming rigs

    http://www.maximumpc.com
    it has builds from 500 to over 2000—there is one article on a real nice 750 buck screamer build —take a look there u will be impressed—-most of the time spending less is better
    on ur card think ati 4850 for only 130.00 in cross fire or this outrageous one for 250.00—-evga geforce gtx 275

    good luck

    great processor, nice motherboard, decent-at-best graphics card. The processor is very nice, but if this is mainly for gaming get a core 2 duo e8500 or 8600 instead. they’ve got a higher clock speed and cost a lot less. most games fail to fully utilize 2 cores, let alone 4. Unless you are doing something that will really make full use of a quad core cpu. stick with a dual-core. The graphics card is pretty mediocre. Its not bad, but its firmly in the lower midrange. You can do much better for only a little more. Newegg lists the 9800gt for about $100. You can get a radeon 4850 for as little as $20 more before rebates and it will absolutely blow the 9800gt out of the water. just be aware that a 4850 will probably require a beefier psu. the hard drive seems a little small. with hard drive prices being so low, it makes little sense to get a hard drive smaller than 500gb. the rest of the system is pretty blah and ddr2, optical drives, sound cards, wireless, and cases haven’t changed substantially in a while.
