http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10363714

I'm not looking for the best of the best but i just would like to know what this one would be capable of

The reason I'm picking from wal mart is becasue it's really the only thing around

What really sucks is that I have a 256 MB DDR2 Nvidia GeForce 5200FX that is AGP and that works well it's just tat this new pc is PCI-E and I can't use the AGP in the PCI-e right?systemplayer

well i already knew that I just was making sure and besides it worked pretty well at rnning those games at high settings on my old pc

how about thiss one:

How can you lump the HL2 graphics in with the COD 1+2?tautitan123

[QUOTE="tautitan123"]How can you lump the HL2 graphics in with the COD 1+2?kemar7856

All due to the fantastic source engine... I run it decent frames at 1280x800 on an x700mobile... and that thing is getting kinda junky now

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4405987&CatId=3670 - $70 X-FX Radeon HD 4650 Video Card- 512MB DDR2, PCI Express 2.0, CrossFireX, (2) Dual-Link DVI

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4207200&CatId=3585 - $70 - Galaxy GeForce 9500 GT Video Card - 1024MB DDR2, PCI Express 2.0, (2) Dual Link DVI, HDTV, VGA Support (Close to a 8600GT in performance)

But if you have around $100 you can pick uo a 9800GT which is way better but since you have a prebuilt Pc the psu isnt enough to run it so one of those above should run ok with the pc's psu.

Why would you buy a computer from walmart?millerlight89

Budget $150 at least for a card that's worth buying for playing newer games.tautitan123

Ok the reason we bought it from there is that my dad immediatly got $50 off of the $498 Dell that has 2GB of DDR3 SDRAM a 250 GB SATA drive and a Intel Celeron D processor at 2.2GHZ and he also got another 10% off of the dicounted price

How about this card?

Why does everyone hate that processor????? mine is running just fine!!!!systemplayer

They're selling computers with Celeron D's? Wow not even a Celeron Dual Core :|X360PS3AMD05

Saw this in a flyer last month. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=9446777 Don't know how he missed it unless they skipped it because of price. With just a video card upgrade you could run all the games that have been mentioned so far. BUT I just ordered a new PC with parts from Newegg that is 10x what his comp is for about the same price, And I got a XFX GTX 260 896MB with it too. AND after the $60 in MIR's it will cost just a lil over $800. Yeah, you can ALWAYS build em better and cheaper yourself. And these days with the right mobo that comes with a good manual JUST about anyone can do it.

My gut told me no from the start but to be honest, I almost jumped on that Wally-Mart system and thought "Well all I'll really need is a GPU..." But that was before checking out the friggin awsome deals online. After 3-4 years of not keeping up with new hardware and prices I had NO idea how affordable things are now. I mean I knew Ram had gone down in price alot but damn lol, 4Gb for $55.00?

Hope that gives you an idea of what you can put together. :D

I would recommend this computer...

It's actually kinda decent. The 9500gt isn't the best card, but for the price, it can't be beat. I have a 9600gt and I can play most games maxed out. Except Crysis. And some new games I have to turn AA down, but I think the 9500gt will be good. Let me know if this works or you need another suggestion.

look i know that the internet is like the best place to make a computer but to my dad if you say internet and buy he thinks hackers credit card stolen and newegg will rip you off i tried to show him the value of doing online internet computer parts but that doesn't change his mind that they'll steal his identity lmfao I don't know why he thinks this way
