you can play this game no problems on the iPad, that's $500

 

[Midnj]

shit

 

[mjoe]

i'd go with an i5

 

[trop]

shitty video card, spend a little more and get a better one since that is where an extra $100 - $200 can make a night and day difference

I'll sell you my PC for $450 and it beats the snot out of that.


q6600 oc'd to 2.9, directx11 ati 5770, etc

 

[Die Hard]

get a 5770 instead of 4850, it's like $40 more

 

[krustyy]

No case, no power supply, no hard drive, no optical drive

No case, no power supply, no hard drive, no optical drive

No mouse, no keyboard, no webcam, no operating system, no cords, and he even forgot the monitor!

 

[Vance]

No mouse, no keyboard, no webcam, no operating system, no cords, and he even forgot the monitor!

whoa, its like hes upgrading his computer!

 

[Funky]

whoa, its like hes upgrading his computer!

Are you trying to say that he already has these things?

 

[Goofy]

lulz.

Why the i5-750 over the x4-955? I don't plan on overlocking and the 955 seems more than adequate (cheaper too) for gaming.

Gonna go with the 5770, didn't realize it has DX11.

 

[trop]

at least go for a 5850, much faster and will last a lot longer. Can overclock it to get pretty close to a default 5870

 

[Die Hard]

cuz he has a budget

 

[Goofy]

cuz he has a budget

This.

I guess for comparison purposes, this is my current shitty rig;

512 8800GTS
2GB DDR2 800
Athlon X2 64 2.4ghz Windsor
Gigabyte board (forget model n shit)
