Ok so I have a Dell Dimension 2350 from like 2002 (LOL I know), and I upgraded a little (Enough to run Minecraft on Medium Settings) So I saved up 1000 dollars over the last 3 months from work (Left over money after bills) and got these specs: Motherboard: Asus AMD 760G (70) PSU: OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W (90) CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1075T Thuban 3.0GHz 6MB Cache (170) Video Card: EVGA Geforce Gtx 460 1GB (160) Case: Rosewill Challenger ATX Mid Gaming Tower (50) Memory: Patriot Signature 2 Series 8GB (2x4) 1600Mhz (60) HDD: 1.5TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache (70) And I got some other things like couple purple case fans, purple lights, dvd burner, sound card but those are the things that really matter. The full price WITH SHIPPING is $764.90 Few Questions: 1. Is this system worth that price? 2. Can it run skyrim and crysis 2 max? 3. What improvements could I make that are less than 250 dollars?
This should be in Silicon Valley, I think you'd get better answers and no flaming from people if you posted this there. Sorry I'm of no help, but best of luck
That's a good set up, only thing i'd recommend is a SSD>HDD. And yes that will run crysis 2, not sure if it will max out but it will still run smoothly on extremely high settings.
Ok thanks thats all I was wondering because someone told me to up my graphics card but I think its ok. Ill spend the 250 on a keyboard and mouse I guess unless feedback says otherwise.
Oh BTW Games I would play: GTA4 Crysis Brink Fallout 3 Elder Scrolls Call Of Duty Fable 3 L4D2 Metro 2033
