Hi, I'm planning to upgrade my computer to play all the newest directx10 games. I have an 8800GTX directx10 video card but I only have 1gig of pc3200 400Mhz ram and an AMD Dual core +4400 each core running at 2.2 Ghz. The crysis beta is unplayable (with all settings on low) for me and I want to have a computer that can run it when its comes out along with Unreal Tournament 3, I mean comon I have a 8800GTX I can't let my other hardware slow me down! When I was in game a guy told me he upgraded his AMD +4200 and it made a huge difference on the game for him so I thought it is time to finally upgrade. So here's what I picked out from tigerdirect:

So I'm wondering if the ram and mobo are compatible and if quad core is worth it for gaming. I have noticed all my friends with intels load way faster than me in games at lan parties so I am switching to intel, one has a core 2 duo and one has a pentium D and they beat me by a longshot. Also if I got another hard drive could I just add it?
Any suggestions? Thanks
