I have made a thread previously but didnt get many replies.

How will this system perform - "Ultima OC 9800 GX2" Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40GHz @ QX6950+ 3.30GHz+ Quad Core SILENT DDR2
System

I plan on playing Crysis on it, with a 22" monitor for the time being, however I plan to get a 24" monitor soon.

However Im not a massive gamer so overall I just want it to be fast but be quite futureproof with the ability to add a new graphics card every 2 years or so!

Also, I have noticed that they have included a new PSU which has almost convinced me to go for it as it is far better than the previous one on offer!

I already have a Samsung 2232BW Monitor (fantastic), MX Revolution Mmouse and a logitech keyboard!

Any oppinions would be greatly appreciated as Im desperate to just go for it but dont want to have regrets! Thanks

its rather cool but the 9800 will become obsolete by something much better soonish (in like 9 months max) so it could be best to try for an 8800gts (mebbe sli) to save some cash n so on...

Cheers, I know it doesnt make sense to get a 9800GX2 but Im going to anyway lol Its the fastest single card solution available and I have no interest in SLi. I plan to replace the 9800GX2 when the next card becomes available!


But you think the system as a whole will perform well? I read that the PSU is a good one and I know the Processor is decent along with the Memory.

Im paying allot for the case but I think it just looks cool! :D
