Yes, but I would highly recommend the Maximus over that one. For the same price, you get PCI-e 2.0 and better overclocking.

Yes, but Crysis is still a different story. You will definetly be able to play it with all high, but not very high settings at a decent resolution.
Yes, you can download and play games at the same time, since the Q6600 is great at multi tasking.
The best parts for gaming are the graphics card, cpu, ram and motherboard.

Not nessesarly. The Core 2 Quad Extreme processor series (950 and up) are currently the best out there. The Q6600 isnt a "true" quad core processor, it is essentially 2 duel cores combined into 1. The Extreme processors are all separated cores.

I allready told you. Anything with socket 775 for the cpu and PCI-e for the video card.

No computer to date can play Crysis with ease (60+ fps)
You can play crysis on all high settings with a decent resolution though, just not very high.

I'd agree with that. The best way to up your frame rate in Crysis with high detail is to set either Shaders or shadows to Medium (or both), whilst leaving the rest of the settings high. Turning either of those down to medium bags you a 50% performance boost.
No PC can play Crysis completely at ease, but you can certainly run a decent resolution with the HD3870 on high detail. My card can run Crysis at 800x600 smoothly on high detail, and since the 3870 is about 80% faster than my X1900, I reckon 1280x1024 should be playable. If you use a large/high definition monitor you may want to lower some of the detail settings.

According to the specs for my new PC, can you give me an approximate price? Because, i am planning to buy these products in Taiwan. Will it be much cheaper there?

I'm not sure that it will be that much cheaper in Asia, but for that upgrade on newegg it's about $900. I dont know what version of vista you will be getting, nor what kind of ram.
This is a great bundle: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...267&Tpk=patriot
That's on my list for my upgrade. Fast DDR2 800 for only 125.

Yes, if your computer can play Crysis with nice frames on high settings, then it can play any game out there.
