my good for nothing P4 broke down and im using my bros notebook.ok i wanna buy a pc which can do operations very fast and play hi def videos. also play some good games.i checked and this is within my costs

intel core 2 duo 2.2 ghz

nvidia nforce 630i motherboard

2 1gb rams (so my pc is fast)

dvd burner

160 gb hard disk

my questions is that if i add 7200 gs 256 mb (very cheap now) with these specs will i be able to play these games???can any1 give me some other choices apart from the above.thank you

To play those games with moderate settings you will want a minimum of an 8600.

Several months ago a higher 7series card might have been an option, like a 7850. But with the number of DirectX10 utilizing games, and presuming if you buy new it will have Vista, you're going to want an 8series card. A 7200 would run those games you listed like a 1 legged dog.
