6 gigs ram
7200 RPM 640 GB HDD
PNY NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT

Nothing's wrong with the quad core. Your vid card is junk, and 6 GB of RAM is useless, for a "gaming rig". You use 6GB or more in a fairly high load server, in a medium volume network environment.

Re: how does this sound (gamer rig)
6 GB RAM is overkill, you wasted your money. 4GB is the max you'll need for gaming with modern setups, because by the time you need more than 4 GB for gaming, you'll need a whole new PC anyway.
Gfx card is not bad, thought you should have gone for a 9800GT or 8800GT, much better value for money.

You utter bellend, I say that with the utmost sympathy. A dual core e8200 overclocked using a scythe ninja2, 4 gigs ram, 4870, much better plan...

Make sure the cache on your quad core is 12mb otherwise its not as efficient as some dual cores..

Agreed. 9800/4870 if you use a nvidia chipset go the 9800, any other and get the ATI...

This is where I tell you that you are wrong. I regularly use 7gig of ram gaming. I therefore must say that 6gig of ram is not useless.

This is correct. But you can also use that much ram gaming... As I do.
