Building a new computer... got some questions...

[Xy]

Hey, Since Compusa is closing all of their stores im going on a shopping spree and make a brand new computer for 600 bucks.

I have this made out for the basics:

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2ghz
8800 GTS OC
Intel Mobo (forgot which model but pretty decent)
2gb Corsair DDR2 Kit



I know that these are just basics but should i upgrade to 4gb (running Vista Ultimate).

I just plan on running 2 maybe 3 WoWs and boxing.... and was wondering if that should get at least 30fps on each...

What could i do to improve the machine or should it run fine?

Thanks,
Xy

You'll get at least 30fps on 2 clients with that setup

That should get a decent FPS with two or three clients, Any more and you'd have to move into the realms of Quad-core processing ;-)

If you do upgrade the RAM further make sure you get Vista 64 bit (doesn't matter if its home, Business or Ultimate, just that its 64-bit.)

Question: what's the price difference between the Core 2 Duo and a quad like the Q6600 or Q6800? I just bought my stuff last night for my new rig and my Q6600 was $260 or so.

Newegg is awsome make sure if you buy stuff from there order it befor 12pm so it gets procesed and shipped that day. If not your waiting another day.
