Is this a good gaming computer?

[JoeMtW]

I recently ordered a computer for christmas and I am hoping that it will be able to run games smoothly. This is about a 1200 dollar computer i believe. (Dell.com)

Intel Core i7-930 processor(8MB L2 Cache, 2.80GHz)
Ati Radeon HD 5770 1024MB GDDR5
9GB DDR3 SDRAM at 1333MHz

And this computer is Windows 7 and the model is Studio XPS 9100.

2 Questions

1. Is this a good computer for gaming?

2. Is this processor quad core?

Thanks
