I can't recommend a better system for $1,200-$1,300 USD! Socket 754 is fine. Oh, and PC games are only as reliable as your hardware...my old PC was unstable as hell for two straight years. I tried everything to fix it but nothing worked. When I upgraded to my current motherboard and CPU, everything stopped and worked fine. Cheap, cheesy hardware will result in more gaming problems than any software problems.
