you probably don't need a quad core processor. If your main usage is going to be gaming, then it is useful to look at the system reqs to see what sort of spec you want to be looking at.

Seems like a pretty good system. I agree with the second post, right now I don't think you need a quad core cpu but if you want to shell out the cash its up to you.

Overall, pretty good system.

you can always use a quad. games are being designed to take care of multiple cores. and the future will use them even more. i would get it. i would change video card to either 8800GTS 512 or 3870x2. the GTS is cheaper and nearly outperforms the GTX. the 3870x2 is sometimes more expensive but spanks the GTX up and down the field
