    What about the one I linked just now?

    Edit: Got some opinions about the last one I posted and that one is bad for gaming cause the graphics card is itregated into the Motherboard.


    How about this comp?

    Well I posted this in another thread already but I guess I should post it here as well.

    Processor Intel Core™ i5 Quad Processor i5-750 Qu​ad Core, 2.66Ghz, Socket 1156, 8MB, 95W, Bo​xed w/fan​

    DDR3 memory Kingston ValueR. DDR3 1333MHz 4GB, CL9 Kit w/​two matched ValueRAM 2GB DDR3​

    Graphics card XFX Radeon HD 5770 1GB GDDR5 PCI-Express 2.0,​ 2xDVI-I, HDMI, DisplayPort, 850MHz​



    Do you guys think this will run Starcraft 2 on ultra settings? In that case I'm ordering the computer right now.

    I want to hear people’s opinions on this processor- I too will be creating a new computer.

    Also, any opinions on the Nvidia GeForce GTX 260?


    Back with all gun's blazing.

    It's a good CPU but if you want to buy, first buy a good CPU cooler and then OC
    otherwise at stock clocks it's average
    buying GTX GPU nowadays is a waste of money
    those don't support DX11, are overpriced, build with old technology
    very well made though, I would recommend in your case or a 5770 or the 5850
    or wait for the 5830, which will fill the gap between 5770 and 5850

    I don’t want the 5700 but I wouldn’t mind the 5850- however, it is more money. Is DX11 support wroth it at this particular time, though? And I’ll have to make the order soon, so there is no option to wait for the 5830 I’m afraid. Thanky Spychi. ;P

    5770 has the same performance as the 4870 but it has the potential to OC and outperform the 4870, DX11 makes it also good, but if you can afford the 5850 then go for it, choose from Sapphire, HIS or Powercolor

    I have a 5770 at the moment and it handles all my games just fine. I just got the 1.8gb Qarl texture pack for Oblivion and it handles it at 1920x1080 just fine. Basically, getting anything that doesn't handle DX11 right now is a waste of money. There are some good cards, sure, but no future-proof at all. A DX11 card will handle you for several years.
