think it'll be a good gaming computer?

Decent ghz and good graphics card it looks the part so id say deffinetly, what were you thinking of game wise?

Crysis, left 4 dead, wow maybe, d3 once it comes out, counterstrike

Lol, there's NOTHING available that will play Crysis at full res, but that being said this should do well.
Admittedly if you are looking at gaming, go for the Geforce SLI option, I'd also upgrade the CPU to Extreme edition Quad as well as the PSU, 500W+.
Mind you when I spec a gaming machine I'm, normally looking in the $5k+ range, for the box alone..

Agreed ben, I've never seen a machine that can play crisis, as for L4D and counterstrike my laptop can play those and it doesn't have a spec as half as good as what you've put so no worries :)

Everything looks good except for the powersupply I would shell out the extra money for a 700 watt plus psw

Definitely get a bigger PS. Running SLI/Crossfire will put a huge burden on that 420w.


Maybe a larger Hard drive, but other than that looks good to me.

What kind of case are you getting?

On any custom build I recommend no les than 500 watts and I am able to play crisis at full with my system
