Purchasing a desktop computer: Is this one good? For

relatively advanced gaming, img and vid editing, etc.? Details:-Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor E6600 (2.40GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 4MB cache, non-HT)or-Intel® Core™ 2 Quad Processor Q6600 (2.40GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 8MB cache) -- for $64.00 more.-2048MB 667MHz Dual-Channel DDR2 SDRAM (2x1024MB) -- can always add more memory modules.-NVIDIA® GeForce 8600GT 512MB Dual DVI w/ VGA adapter--not looking to go any more advanced, should I consider downscaling? NVIDIA GeForce 7600GT 256MB DDR2 Video Card Dual DVI/ TV $27.00 less or NVIDIA GeForce 7500LE 256MB (512MB shared) $106.00 less-160GB 7200rpm Serial ATA II/ 300 hard drive w/ 8MB cache--Don't think I will need much more(can always use secondary storage)-48x/ 32x/ 48x CD-RW/ DVD Combo Drive--Seems fine, wouldn't really ever use dvd-rw-Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium (32-bit) --No Idea on this really, standard option.Does this look good to you for the purposes that I will be using it for? Would you make any changes? If so, Please Specify.New to Yahoo! Answers :SThanks,-AdamHey, thank all of you for your answers.I would try to get a faster processor, but the place that I plan on buying it(gateway - because I don't feel comfortable putting a system together myself.) only offers 2.4ghz processors. =Do you really think that having a 2.4ghz processor would hinder my gameplay? Would the graphics card and ram be wasted with such a low processing speed?Do you happen to have any suggestions for a place to purchase a better computer(I am on a bit of a budget Wink )Thank you again,-Adam
