For the same price you should get an E6850. Since only a few applications out there use quad-core (none of which are games), and most still don't use two cores, it's pretty much worthless going with it. In gaming, the E6850 will perform much better than the Q6600, and they are the same price.

Nice but I'd use the 640 MB 8800GTS. I just got an XFX D4 the fastest 8800GTS made with Lost Planet here:

It totally rocks playing Lost Planet in DX10.
The quad is an excellant choice as quads will be coming into play big time with the new multi-threaded games coming out. The only OS you want in a REAL gaming machine is Vista as XP and DX9 is yesterdays news in the gaming community.

Really nice specs, but you can save some money on some of that stuff that won't improve performance. Two hard drives or a Lightscribe DVD won't make the game run any faster. All that logitech stuff won't make the game any faster either. I wouldn't buy a vista system until SP1 is released. I know you need it for Direct X 10, but Vista is still buggy.

do not use 3gb of memory, this will ruin your dual channel
use 2 or 4 gb and try to stick to 2 sticks only because you will never get the same timing out of 4 sticks as you will 2, i would ditch the vista home.. get either ultimate (for dx10 games) or go with xp until vista is more compatible. i still dont think you will get the high kind of quality components for the same price when you go with a premanufactured pc ... the only benefits normally are the monitors.. .because dell buys them in such bulk quantities...

Steam sales theres one good now and a few video games are 75% off and you dont could look ahead to delivery yet countless the time actual copies are for some unusual reason extra low priced

That's a pretty powerful gaming set up especially if you will overclock your Q6600. At stock clock settings, E6850 still beats it.

2 xfx GeForce 8800 ultra XXX edition in sli mode would do much better than the 8800gts

The graphic card ain't that great. An nVidia 8950 GTX would blow that away. Rest appears fine
