Hello, This is my first time building a gaming computer, and I wanted to know if this was a decent gaming build.

Link (http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/AMD_SLI_READY_Custom_Build_Configurator/detail)

Here are the upgrades that I chose: Case- Coolermaster Centurion 590, CPU- AMD Phenom X4 9950 Black Edition, Video Card 1/2- Upgraded to EVGA by nvidia, OS- Windows Xp.

if not, please help me out as to what I need and feel free to make suggestions, Just to note, I want to play eve-online. Thanks

Okay, the first thing that I would change is the graphics cards. The 9400GT alone or in SLI is not gaming material. Dump them and get one 9600 GT. That is a better option. For $10 more you get a LOT better gaming. Overall, this is not an amazing system. For $450, it is not bad. . .but definitely a low-ranged "gaming" machine.

What would you suggest for a $900 build then? it's my christmas gift, but if it really needs to be over $900 for it to be good I can prolong it until I get money. Thanks again.
