im ordering a computer from a custom shop near me:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600

2 Gigs DDR2-800

EVGA Geforce 8600 GTS 256 mb superclocked

X-Cruiser Silver Case

Vista Home Premium

160 GB 7200 rpm 16 mb cache

mother board maybe intel DG33FB-both guys there actually suggested
intel boards over asus and many others do to great stability?



will this be a decent gaming computer? will it handle games like crysis?



keep in mind the whole setup is less than $1,200 which i think is a good deal, do u?

Intel boards are mostly stable, but if you get one do not plan on overclocking.

Intel boards have their problems just as much as Asus and gigabyte.

The "clocks" don't matter at all. Its the GPU. Also a game like crysis will demand more Vram so 256mb on that game would be pushing it. If you use that card you would probably have to run it on low settings.

It's tooo overpriced. Q6600, Gigabyte P35 ($99 on newegg), 4GB seems good with 1200$, could probably fit an 8800 640MB or even an GTX in that budget. I say don't buy.

I would get a E6750 as opposed to the quad core option, then get a 8800GTS graphics card with the money saved. Better still, get the 640MB version if you can really push your budget. Then 2GB of Ram @ 800Mhz should be fine
