You have the same computer as I built. The only difference is you have a ASUS P5GC and I have the ASUS P5Q. I also have 2 more GB of ram that I have never needed to use. $GB is plenty. I’m not sure what you are trying to run as you just gave specs, but I will tell you that on the same system more or less I’m able to play the most demanding games on the highest Graphic settings. You have a good computer that should last a few years.
Edit: Quad cores are not utilized and the E8400 is 45nm. It is just as fast as a Q6600 for half the price. Some people think more cores the better. This is only true if they are utilized, otherwise they are just a waste of space and money.
