Hi there Facepunch, haven't been here in a while. So, I'm currently building a computer for my friend as a Christmas present, and I am only tech-savvy in the programming aspect, I'm pretty shit with hardware. So the budget is $400. I need the computer to be gaming oriented, cheap but effective. He plans to play games like WoW, and Counter-Strike. You know, games that aren't demanding on the parts. I'm in the US, and he is going to want XP on his computer.
Does he aleady have XP?

[QUOTE=sbradford26;18858026]A 4860 :confused: what the hell.[/QUOTE] Actually, I did some research, found out its a card that was only in China. It's pretty much a 4870 that had been modified lesser. If you really want a card thats within 400 then get a 4850, it does about the same to better performance. Basically, its the retarded child coming from a 4870 and a 4850. Worse part is that its not fully supported by ATI drivers themselves. So for Gods sake, don't get the card x.x

Might as well save an extra $20 for a 5750 if you're gonna spend $130 on a GPU.
