Which CPU to get?

[sjb13815]

Hello,
I am purchasing an HP Pavilion p6774y Desktop and I was wondering how it would do with the modern games like the Call of Duty games and possibly MMORPG's like Second life or something for my kids. If it's not good with the graphics, what card would you prefer to install? it has a quad core phenom II AMD with 6GB RAM and 1TB HD.

That would make a great gaming build for you, and your kids.
