Is this system a good buy?

[Malgor]

I already have a good gaming system, but want a newer one for the future.

Is this system a good deal and upgradable?

What video card would you get for it?

What other recommendations would anyone suggest?

Thanks,

Mal

Not bad. I would personally prefer a little more ram, but overall, thats not bad at all.

I'm not that much of a fan of CoolerMaster PSUs and CPU heatsinks (I prefer Thermalright heatsinks (http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g48/c373/s966/list/p1/CPU_Heatsinks-CPU_Heatsinks_-_Brand-CPU_Heatsinks_-_Thermalright-Page1.html) and SeaSonic PSUs for reliability and cost) but that looks like a solid, upgradeable system.

As others mentioned, I might prefer a bit more RAM if I were going to 5-box on the single PC with ISBoxer. For non-ISBoxer setups or anything under 5-boxing, that should be plenty adequate.

Regarding graphics cards, I'd put an NVidia in there; preferably a GTX270 or faster, though if your budget is tight, a 9800GT or better will do just fine with that much RAM and CPU power.
