That's a decent machine you're buiding there, except for two things. First, opt for the 4600 processor. Your processor is having to keep two of the fastest video cards on the planet supplied with data, so you'll need a faster one. And secondly, there isn't a 500 watt psu available that can run all that, unless this is the one you're planning on buying: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817151029
Although, that's not the psu I'd choose, for such a system. Any of these would be much more appropriate, and not much more $$$: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductCompare.asp?Category=32&Brand=1697&N=2010320058+50001697&Submit=ENE&Nty=1&Manufactory=1697&SubCategory=58&CompareItemList=N82E16817151025%2CN82E16817151028%2CN82E16817151030

it looks good but i havent owned a am2 but i know the first dual core were slower than the single core ever intel the opterons were fastest in game loading after the core 2 duals someother peoples comps loaded 3 seconds faster so the new dual core may be better

If u already have it , yes it is very good
but if u plan to get one i think u will pay too much u can buy cheaper one and can run all the games on it becouse even if u have 64-bit cpu it will run as 32 bit oe if the game support only 32-bit cpu

Yeah, man. That's a pretty nice setup. Befor you buy tho, check out www.stupidcheapcomputers.net. I buy all of my stuff from them and they have even better systems, seriously.
I bought a complete, new system from them with a warranty for LESS than it would cost me to build it myself or order a custom one from the manufacturer. You can use my frequent buyer code: ATX926. That will get an additional 10% discount at checkout.
I have NEVER had any problems with anything that they have sold me and their customer service is outstanding. Those guys blow my mind.
Good luck!

That looks like a *current* DREAM gaming machine. Is it liquid-cooled? Seriously, I'd love to have that much money. Is that an Alienware machine?
