OK, glad you told us.

Well, might as well critique the system...

Looks like you actually only have 1GB of RAM since you only listed one stick of it.

I'd have gotten the E6600 with 4M cache.

The video card is horribly bottlenecking the system for games. That's by far in terms of performance the weakest link in the system.

You could have paid no more than an extra $20 and gotten a 16M cache 400gig drive instead of a 250gig drive. That's 60% more drive space for 33% more money.

You could have gotten a 19" LCD monitor for not much if any more than the 17" you got.

The motherboard was a pretty bad choice, too. Clearly a budget motherboard, and I personally would have selected something better.

All in all, not a very good system for the money. My system which has received no upgrade in the past year would perform better in games today due to my 7800GT.

*shrug* Oh well. Enjoy!

Yeah your pc isn't built for highend gaming

1gb of ram won't cut it. You at least need 2gb 3gb or ram would be ideal for high gaming.

E6300 won't cut it unless you overclock it to at least 2.4ghz.

7600GT won't cut it. you need at least a 7900GT for higend gaming, trust me I know I have a 7900GT and at times it will even render slow for short peroids of time every now and then with highest settings on with some new games.

I don't know about your psu but if it's semi good then forget any type of high overclocking.
