Here is the setup i was going to buy...the only question i have is for the vid card...How do you think this setup with run games?

Depending on the resolution of your monitor, it's not a great setup for games. A few pointers:

1) Don't go for a socket 939 (that's mobo and CPU). They're going out of date soon---go for a AM2, or a C2D setup if you can spare the cash
2) Faster ram is definitely a good idea
3) Try to find one of the following graphics cards for a good price (in order of how good they are):
---7600GS
---7600GT
---7900GS
---7900GT
I recommend the last one.

What brand is the hard drive?
