...Who the F%$K needs two quad cores, four Video cards, and god-knows what else can fit on that thing?  Seriously, your average gamer is probably running a realistic rig like mine...AMD 3500+, Geforce 6800 Ultra, and 2 Gigs Corsair ram on a Premium A8N-SLI mobo (Azus).  My cost, minus monitor: 1300 bucks.  Their cost, with state-of-the-art stuff and a monitor bad-ass enough to handle all that graphics computing hardware...somewhere in the $5000 to $7000 range, someone mentioned.

Face it, this beast cannot be tamed by anyone...and with that said:

It will be a cold day in hell before I ever spend that much on a computer.  Unless it can give me a lap dance, AND cook me Macaroni and Cheese at the same time.
You're right about the cores. 99% of the popular games are running in 1 core only. I have only read/heard that Quake supports more than 1 core. BF2 even needs affinity turned off on 1 core in AMD x2 CPU to reduce lag. However, if the gamer is running video and image processing, the 8 cores will rock and roll on the proc timings.
