Without a doubt. You've got a solid machine there

You've got a solid machine that will run games smoothly on 60 FPS

I would suggest you wait for a month or two till AMD releases its Bulldozer architecture as AMD has cheaper CPUs that will perform as equal or better than the inter i5 CPUs. & combined with the AMD over drive you can do an over all overclock for the whole system (CPU, Memory & video card with a performance boost of 10% when needed.

nI have switched to AMD back in 2003 & found it to be very good in either gaming or work, & the over all saving is great. If you choose an AM3+ MB combined with a cheap AMD CPU (Phenom II X4 970 @ 3.5 GHz till the bulldozer is released will be a good performance with forward compatibility.

nHere is a list of suggested parts for an AMD Rig:

nPhenom II X4 970 BE 150$ OR
nt
nAMD Phenom II X6 Six-Core Processor 1100T BE 200$

nMSI 990FXA-GD80 Socket AM3+ Motherboard 180$ with 3 way Crossfire

nMSI ATI Radeon HD6950 Twin Frozr III OC 2GB 300$

nI'd also recommend an SSD for OS drive & a PSU over 600 Watts.

nThese components will guarantee forward comparability & great gaming performance.
