I agree with the earlier person about what he said about Crysis...
I run Crysis with a single core 1.8 GHz processor (yes that is under minimum), 1 GB of RAM, and a GeForce 7600 GT. And I run the game at 1024x768 resolution with most things on low but some on medium and even high and I run the game at a solid framerate.
It will look like an Xbox 1 game, probably worse. I've played the game on my rig (Athlon 64 x2 4200+ 2GB Ram, WinXP, X1900XT 512mb)..
and it still doesn't look like it should. Directx 10 does give good quality lighting & shadows something which isn't as good in Directx 9.0c Check the jungle sections in the game. I heard having two graphic cards helped?
The original post, you should be fine. I would question the graphics card too. Don't always assume the highest number is the best graphics card. 6GB of Ram is overkill, Vista only uses about 3.3GB. XP max probably 3.1GB... but optimised for 2GB Ram. Quad Cores are not really in-use yet.. Dual Core should be sufficient for Xbox 360 games. Your processor is for future gaming, when they decide to use quads more often. I heard the new Alan Wake uses 3 cores for the PC.
