Should be good enough for Modern Warfare 2

Dude 12gb of ram is insane, just knock it down to 6 (3 sticks of 2gb preferrably) and spend the extra on a soundcard or something.

[ReGIONALS]

ya really noone really needs 12gb of ram unless your going to play games and edit videos and watch lots of videos all at the same time

No gamer needs 12GB. Like you can run 5 games simultaneously and still not need 12GB, I think. The most memory a game has taken for me is like 500MB-1GB. Look for a computer with the same specs with 6GB, as Shadowex3 said. This will save a lot of unnecessary spending.

6gb in 2gb sticks gives you 3x2gb, and nehalem uses triple channel DDR3. That's one 2gb stick for each channel, the sweetspot. Sure you can up it to 3x4gb for 12gb of ram total but honestly if you're being stubborn and rich why are you not also buying wicked awesome surroundsound (zx5500) or headphones (hd595) and a top end x-fi rather than ram youll never use? Spend the extra on something made of win.

Ahhh. You should have mentioned this (at least I think you didn't). In this case, yea, get that last computer you listed. It's the best one out of all of them.

 

If I was made of money like you, I would get a i7 975 Extreme Edition. Why would you settle for a i7 920? And as Shadowex3 said, I would get surround sound and a 50 inch LED just to play my games on. Then grab some wireless gaming keyboard and mouse, Killer NIC, and a GTX 295 in Quad. xD!
