^ With that said, there are some major things I would change about your build. The psu is way overkill, the processor is a little lacking when compared to a Q6600 (go with that or a phenom 9850 if you want to stay AMD, might be a little more $$). And there are better graphics cards available for the cost of the 9800 gx2.

Thats fairly rubbish build actually and COD5 is quite a low demanding game. It looks like your buying from a site? Probably be cheaper to build yourself or the local computer guy if you don't feel competent to use a screwdriver. You would be best posting in the hardware section either email a mod to move the thread or make a new one

Looks like Cyberpower

Kind of lacking on the build though.. give us your budget and we'll set up a rig for you

I wouldint go as far as saying its a low demanding game, it can get pretty intense when you start cranking up the aa/af and play on high resolutions.

But yeah theres a lot of flaws in that build.
