Kizzi Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Looks pretty sweet, I'll have a proper look later on when I have time to do some research. =DEdit: Okay, I've just looked it over, and you're paying quite a lot for the RAM and case I notice. Especially since it doesn't have a built in power supply. I presume you don't want/need a wireless card, but uh. Where's the graphics card?

It's a waste of money getting a processor that fast unless you're doing something that can take advantage of it without needing a decent graphics card.

Cyber Altair Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 If you want to play MW then you have to get a graphics card genius. Also I suggest getting an Intel processor even if you have to pay a bit extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He MIGHT be able to play CoD4 on the lowest settings fine, but it'd still be a pretty crappy experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Altair Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 My point. I have a decent graphics card and even though I run MW nicely I can't see it or any current-gen game even running with an on-board GPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyber Altair Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 That's a real good card but try getting an Nvidia card because the have PshyX in them if you're interested. That or wait till the DX11 cards though they'll be expensive and won't come real soon so nvm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥ ЅϯᵲåώӀӞ℮ᴙʀɣ−ɴɨɨ−ƈħåɴ ♥ Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 All the video cards you listed so far are fine for L4D and CoD4. Splinter Cell doesn't need so much. Unless you're planning to play the one that's coming out. Buy a cheaper video card, try it, and if it isn't so great, just return it and buy another. It's not too difficult.
