Question Building a Gaming Computer...
Ok so I am very new to making your own computers and such.
Anyways I was wondering if thes computer specs were good enough to be able to run games like The Elder Scrolls Oblivion and Morrowind, Quake, Doom, and such.

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 940 Quad Core Processor - 3.00 Ghz
K9N2 SLI Platinum Motherboard
RAM: DDR2 3GB
Video Card: nVidia BFG Geforce 9800 GT 1GB Low power
-Max Res. 2560x1600

If I missed anything please bear with me, I am still a newb at this.
I haven't bought any of this yet but anyways please let me know if i can run the games mentioned above with those specs.
