[ObLiViOuS_1.0]

well i think you should be able to idk for sure being that they're not out yet... well i've never heard of academy but doom 3 and half life 2 should work i think because thats a pretty good pc that you're getting yourself there

so it will play? great!! if u read some of my other threads in hardware, you will know wat comp i'm refering to here. it's pretty good deal. $600 for all that. but i have to buy my own monitor.

Dell , Samsung or Sony

[abu_has_the_power]

yea, i might buy a 15in from dell for only $180!! but it's only 15 in. we r moving, so my parents say that i need to get a lcd or nothing at all

If you cannot afford the higher priced gpu's go for the mid range, not the budget models. The mid range Nvidia cards work great, i just bought a MSI FX5600 VTDR for (Australian) $350. Which equates to about $200 american but most FX5600 are around US$150 and are approximately the 7th best graphics card around for the average consumer.
And if you can afford it, go ultra FX as they are much faster.

Ignore this nvidiot. Just check hardware sites for reviews and get what you like.

I agree. Unless you're bit short on cash or have slow pc ...

How stupid do you have to be to post something so blantantly ignorant and no reasons listed at all, I hate people in all categories of life who just say "BLAH BLAH Sucks, but this dosen't cause my mom bought me one and she says its cool B)"



Just shut up.

thanks a lot people. so a gforce fx 5200 sucks? i'm not expecting top graphics. this comp is just so that it's cheap and i'm giving my old comp to my sister. she has just discovered the world of learning games on the computer. she's 3, and she's playing winnie the pooh learning games on my comp all the time. my parents say that i should give this comp to her, and get a new one. i've only got 1000 in own possession, right now. and i don't plan on spending all of it. my parents r buying 2 lcds, one 4 my old comp, and 1 4 my new comp, so i don't have to wory bout that. the reason y i really like this deal is because it's only 700 with all the accessories i want. B) B) i havn't seen another deal with any 128mb video card with tv out 4 this price. if u think that this is a bad deal, can u point me out to some better ones? i know i can build my own, but i don't like to give my credit card to web sites i hardly know just because they r cheaper than other places.
so help me out. remember, i'm not looking 4 the best graphics. just 1 enough to play all those games, and all the games from now to 2006. will this be enough. besides, there's the incredible price to consider. so help me out. should i buy this, or keep lookin around? and i can play games even though the video card is a bit below minumum requirements, like the vid card i have now. it's shit, but it plays fine in most games that require higher specs.
