My 1st Rig I have Built Please Rate

hey i hav just built my 1st ever computer and everything is running smooth. can i just get some comments on how this will handle new and upcoming games at 1680x1050 thankx. CPU - Intel C2D E6320 Ram -2gb DDR2 667 GPU - 8800GTS 320mb (Overclocked 570/1800) also is there anything i would have to upgrade soon?? I know i should have waited to get a better processor as my motherboard wont allow me to overclock :(My 1st Rig I have Built Please Rate
Its hard to give you numbers without benchmarking your system, but, I think it will run upcoming games at a good frame rate. My suggestion, if your motherboard supports DDR2 800 upgrade to it.If you want a number use 3dmark and compare yourself to others.My 1st Rig I have Built Please Rate

Like if you used 3dmark 05, you would compare with 05 scores. The older the version, the lower the spec requirements and the higher the score.

[QUOTE=''jed-at-war'']Would the score still be acurrate compared to the 3Dmark06?[/QUOTE]No, just run 3Dmark06. It'll run on nearly anything. And don't worry about getting DDR2 800; 667 is fine 'till your next upgrade.

Don't get DDR2 800, it isn't worth it. Stick with 667 until you upgrade to either DDR3 or DDR2 1066btw lol, like 6 posts in 3 mins.

Though I do get your other point, I should have been clearer, If your motherboard supports it upgrade to its fastest speed (assuming that you are concerned mostly about performance and not cost.)
[QUOTE=''matthewmckay231'']I know i should have waited to get a better processor as my motherboard wont allow me to overclock :([/QUOTE]What motherboard is that?
hey thanks for all the replies. The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-VM900M it has no overclocking features in the bios what so ever :(
[QUOTE=''matthewmckay231'']hey thanks for all the replies. The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-VM900M it has no overclocking features in the bios what so ever :([/QUOTE]I have that board for my HTPC - and it's a good board for normal day to day usage - but if you can fork out the extra - go with something along the lines of P35-DS3 or P5K..
F..k 3dmark, that is a nice rig, I'll give you 8,5/10
