I am about to purchase this custom system i have built. I would like to know whether it is powerful enough for good gaming peformance and if it can handle the top end games. Please rate out of 10.

probaly a 9/10 its a very good system but your probaly paying a S$%T load of money for it when you could build it for like 30-50% cheaper but if you have the money then i'd say go for it
The highest resolution my monitor can take is 1680 x1050 . Is that enough for the card? or should i think about getting a new monitor as well ?jjarvis321
no your monitor actually has a real good resolution just go for the 8800gts 640mb because you can find it in the mid $300's and the gtx is like low to mid $500's and there performance rates are that much different so if you end up getting the 8800gtx you going to be payingalmost3/5 morethan 8800gts price just for a 10-25% increase in performance
When are you getting this pc built? If you can wait a few weeks, til July 22nd or so, Intel is doing a 50% cut on the quad cores I believe, so that would save you about $250.
Ok so can the 640mb GTS handle games smoothly?, games such as the upcoming game crysis or F.E.A.R? jjarvis321
Well, no one knows about Crysis yet, but F.E.A.R. with 4xAA andall options turned up on a 320MB GTS, 640MB GTS, and GTX gives frame rates 46, 59, and 80 at 1600x1200or 37, 51, and 70 at 1920x1200.

So shall i go with the 640 mb GTS yes or no?jjarvis321
That would be your call. If you buy now, I think you would get better gaming performance with 8800TGX and E6600 (dual core) than with 8800GTS and Q6600 (quad core). If you can purchase after July 22, the Q6600 will drop to half its current price... then you can get a 8800GTX with your package for the same price as the 8800GTS now.
Well if i go SLI and combine two 640mb GTS together, thats better than one single 768 ULTRA isnt it? If i go SLI will it mean i can handle any game with ease?

BUddy, you can handle any game with this rig at ease at 1680*1050 (the highest you monitor supports) but like everyone said if you can wait until intel drops the prices (July 22 or something I believe) you can get an 8800GTX instead for the same price you are paying now. If you can't wait go for an E6600 and 8800GTX for the best performance. And you should have used spaces because it is pretty hard to read.
