does this spec sound good?? (got a couple of q's)

[The Scop]

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+ 3.00GHz (Socket AM2)

Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro PWM CPU Cooler
Gigabyte GA-MA790X-DS4 AMD 790X (Socket AM2) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

Corsair 4GB DDR2 XMS2 PC2-6400C5 TwinX (2x2GB)

ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI (PCI-Express)

Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB SATA-II 32MB Cache

Pioneer DVR-216DBK 20x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer Rewriter (Black)

Corsair TX 650W SLI Power Supply

Samsung SM-2253BW Aqua 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor

Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 3000


Would these sort of specs be able to play games at high settings on a 19 inch monitor?, i'm guessing yes, but my knowledge of components is limited at best.

cheers in advance

Swap the AMD CPU and motherboard for Intel.

Something like an Intel E7200 CPU & Asus P5Q P45 mothboard would be much better.

Also, if possible, bump the 4850 up to a 4870 (a better fit for the Samsung 22" screen) and change the 500GB HDD to a (faster) Western Digital 640GB.

Asus P5Q P45 around £65 and intel e7200 £80 just got one today for that price. i had a amd 6000 price £64 the chip uses 125w cant have that.
was going to buy gigabyte hdmi motherboard, but the power consumption of the amd chip was too much.

1st time in my life i have an intel chip, still havent opened the box just have it on my desk.

An Intel setup is the better buy at the mo
