is a Q6600,4gb mem, and a single 8800 gtx good enough for gaming @ 1920x1080?

Is a Q6600,4gb mem, and a single 8800 gtx good enough for gaming @ 1920x1080? I ordered a P35 MB but now wonder if I should have gone with a 680i SLI board, my monitor is a 37" westinghouse 37W3 with a native res of 1920x1080. I plan on playing mostly newer games like Crysis,Bioshock, WOW, COD4 etc...
Thanks

I'd reckon it would be enough. Maybe not for Crysis, but the others yes definitely.

for everything besides crysis it should be, for crysis you would be better off with 2 8800gt in sli. From what I have heard the 680i boards have some issues with quad cores (at least with overclocking them) so if you arent sure which board you want you may want to wait for nvidia's 780i (which is supposedly due out soon but may not fix the quad core issue).

Yes!
Bioshock, WOW, COD4 should run excellent.

Crysis is going to need next gen. tech. or later to run smooth on very high @ 60fps or better.

Having owned a QX6700 and using it on a 680i and running on a p35.
P35 hands down!
