those specs are fine.... I have that MB and the same consair ram and my CPU is hte E8400....running COD4 is ok not great.. yet to try crysis

problem i see... is... well for a gaming PC.. what kind of video card are you using?????? i opted for a cheap one 8600GT.. but i reckon you should spend more like a 9600GT or ATI eqv.. i cant remember if the mobo has crossfire or SLI enabled

 

[networkmaster]

your missing a power supply.....

Its not hard to do it yourself, but some people just dont want to.

Microsoft comes down really hard on people that load illegal OS's

I'd recommend an Asus EEE. The other computers you mention can't really handle games like Crysis (let alone Crysis 2).

 

[networkmaster]

I've seen case reports about companies being busted for loading software that isnt genuine. I get a mail out once a month from microsoft saying who has been busted.......
