COMPUTER SPECIFICATIONS:

AMD FX4100 3.6 Ghz QuadCore Processor
AM3 Compatible Motherboard
8GB DDR3 1333mhz RAM
500 GB Hard Drive
EVGA 512MB 9800GT Video Card / ATI Radeon 4850 512MB / 1GB Radeon 6670
(One video card is installed - depends on what is in stock - similar performance)

Diablotek 500 Watt Power Supply

DVD RW Drive

AMD V3 Thermaltake Mid Tower Case

I was curious to see if this would be good for PC gaming and would like to see people's opinion on what they think it should be priced at.

No, no, no.

OP, what's your budget? You don't need an i7, 690, or heaps of RAM to play games well.

to be honest, i just upgraded from 8GB of DDR3.... to 12GB of DDR3 RAM. And it made a HUGE difference in Frames per second, i went from an average of 38 to 59 FPS... without changing my graphics card.. i can run Assassins creed 3 on the highest it will go, flawlessly, I've also ran Crysis 2, Ultra, with an upgraded texture pack, flawlessly... in my opinion, RAM significantly increases in-game performance.

It's completely impossible. Please do a test in which the only variable is the amount of system RAM. Restart your PC and play through a level with 12GB of RAM, then power off, downgrade to 8GB, start up, and play through the same level the same way with the same settings. Make sure both RAM configurations are running at the same timings for the sake of testing the effects of a single variable.
