[B]Specs:[/b] 6GB DDR3 RAM ATI Radeon HD 4350, 512MB Intel Core i3 processor 530 Windows 7 1TB Hard Drive What do y'all think?

It's nice. I have a better one though.

How much did you pay?

It was $749 plus tax, Canadian dollars.

You ripped yourself off. You should have come to us for advice first.

Uh-Oh. What's with the :l Face? EDIT: Oh well, it wasn't my money.

Its pretty good, the graphics card is iffy and seems like you paid slightly too much for it but if your happy...

Get yourself a good Radeon 5750/5770 and you'll be gaming in no time.

Will do, thanks CDLink

Unless if he wants to brag about how well his PC performs, or doesn't want to have to upgrade for a while, he would need that. I still have a 3870 X2 and I can run anything on highest settings.

[QUOTE=Zoo;19605392]I still have a 3870 X2 and I can run anything on highest settings. [/QUOTE]No.

Oh, I know this rig will game perfectly fine. I ran MW2 on my old rig no problem. I just want to be able to run GTA and ArmA 2, and I'll be happy.

[QUOTE=Zoo;19605392]I still have a 3870 X2 and I can run anything on highest settings.[/QUOTE] [img]http://imgsrv.worldstart.com/ct-images/lcdmonitor1.jpg[/img] lower than 800x600?

That's such a ballin monitor.

[QUOTE=Zoo;19605392] I still have a 3870 X2 and I can run anything on highest settings. .[/QUOTE] i want you to run ArmA 2 on the max settings, 1920x1080, 10000 view distance (10 kilometers). Enjoy your 32 thousand polygon mess.

[QUOTE=Zoo;19605392]He doesn't need that to game. He can game right now. [/QUOTE] Yes but with shitty fps at anything over 1024x768. [QUOTE=Zoo;19605392] Unless if he wants to brag about how well his PC performs, or doesn't want to have to upgrade for a while, he would need that. [/QUOTE] Bragging has nothing to do with it. You need performance (at least 50FPS) to be able to play online games properly. [QUOTE=Zoo;19605392] I still have a 3870 X2 and I can run anything on highest settings. [/QUOTE] just because the number of his card is higher, doesn't mean it's better than yours. The HD4350 is a crap card for gaming on anything beyond 2005/2006. It can run early source games ( 2004-2006) at smooth 50+ FPS (1600x900 4xAA/16xAF). EP1 brings in about 30+FPS (1280x720 0xAA/0xAF with HDR Enabled) and source 2007 games drop to 20FPS in places (1280x720 0xAA/0xAF).

It will be slow and slower.[/QUOTE] He will be able MW2 to play on 1024x768 with medium-high settings, at 40+FPS. (based on my own tests) GTA IV will be unplayable, I played it with all settings on low at 800x600, and I got 15FPS out of it (that's from just playing the first mission.)

i think it can play bus simulator 2008

Read the rules. smellaban

Lol you got ripped.

My old quad system I built 2 christmases ago for 700 is comparable. Thats sad. Except you have more ram :downs:
