Ok so i play some pretty high demand games as far as graphics and processing go and my current set up is just...meh and dealing with it. The video card is pretty out dated and its just time to get a new one. I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions before i start buying or building a new one(yay for being a computer science major lol)I don't need anything too out there but something with some nice OOMPH would be great
the answer is to build your own computer. for CPU, i would suggest an AMD am3 Phenom ii x4, and for VGA, i would suggest and AMD Radeon 5770. AMD is coming out with a new CPU called &bulldozer& so prices on phenom ii x4's should drop upon launch, and as for the VGA, radeon 6000 series graphics cards are out but the 5770 should offer the best bang for the buck. when you build your own computer, you can also salvage parts from your old computer such as optical drives, HD, and maybe even memory if its compatible that is.
I equipped one from dell some months in the past and it works extraordinarily sturdy for BF 3, wow, tribes accend and others. replaced into in basic terms below one thousand greenbacks. I observed that they had a clean one come out a 8500 sequence that regarded sturdy. desire that facilitates.
Until Bulldozer is not released Intel i5 2500K is still the king, and I doubt AMD will match it anyways. Though if you are looking at lower price range AMD Phenom II X4 955 has no competition (i3 2100 is still a dual core and wins mostly in encoding). 4GB RAM is enough. Video card - minimum I suggest GTX 550 or ATI 6770, better with GTX 460 or 560 or ATI 6850/6870, and anything above but with decreasing oomph for the $ value. You can try aiming to that computer below and just buy all your own parts, it will be a good one:
Ok i have a lot but here it is simple and plain x4 quad anything from 925 945 955 965 or any 6 core processor from amd 8gb ddr3 1600 or 1866 speed Gtx 560 evga normal regular or superclocked video card if you get anyting better than what I typed you wont really know the difference unless you count frame rates, all games will play as smooth as whatever you think is smooth
