I plan on selling my PS3 and my current PC for a new one.  I am not a computer expert, but no some stuff.  Is this a decent build for the upcoming MMOs?

    3GB of ram, with 4 sticks? No matter what way you put it, thats not ...good. Im assuming thats two 1GB sticks and two 512mb sticks, dont do that. Go with either 2GB or 4GB of matching RAM. Im not saying it wont work , but for best performance do not use mis-matched RAM.

    Alright, thanks for the heads up.

    Looks good (excepting the RAM consideration, as mentioned). Make sure you pair these parts with a decent power supply and cooling though, those quad cores are hungry and run hot compared to the dual cores.
