Can this run Bioshock ?

Alright, so i posted a topic yesterday about my computer build, i modified it a bit and i would like to know if it could run Bioshock on high?

Case
Antec Nine Hundred


Graphics Card
BFG Geforce 8800GTS Overclock 2 320MB Pci-E

Processor
AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual-Core 5600+ Socket AM2



Motherboard
Asus M2N-E-SLI, A,F GL, SATA, R, PCI-E, AM2


RAM
DDR2 1024MB/800MHz/PC-6400 Kingston x 2


Hard drive

Western Digital 250 GB 7200 RPM 8 MB

Power Supply

Antec SmartPower 500W

If not, can you please tell me what to change? Thanks.

u can max it out but whats up with the psu 350w your gona kill ur pcIQT786

What should i get instead of 350w then?

Sorry, it's my first time customizing a PC. : o

I'm 90% sure that computer will be able to run it on High, if not on max...Funkyhamster

Apevia power supplies are crap. He should get the case if he wants, but find one without the PSU, then choose a separate QUALITY brand of power supply, that handles enough current for the hardware, or he'll have poor performance.

get a psu with 450w and 30 amp on the 12v rail

Okay, i made some few changes about the Power Supply, what do you guys think ? :

i chose the case Antec Nine Hundread instead, and Antec SmartPower 450 W.

And i am kinda worried about the compatibility, Are all these pieces compatible?

That's better than my pc and I play BioShock fine on high settings. I agree with the other posters in that you should up your power supply though. Getat least 450w.

Are you sure it's all compatible?Emikid

I think it is, but I am not 100% sure, What do you guys think?

yep your all good everthing will work

Okay so.. I thought about it and i'll get the BFG Geforce 8800GTX Overclock 2 768MB, Pci-E
and also a Antec SmartPower 500 W, is this good? Am i all set?

Here's my modified build :

How about this? CoolerMaster Real Power 850w SLI would that be a good choice? and is it still compatible? Thanks.

Looks fine that motherboard seriously sucks. Asus' M2N / M2N-E / M2N-E SLi motherboards all suck due to low max RAM voltages .. 1.95V max? Weaksauce.

Antec's SmartPower line is also their lowest quality and most prone power supplies to die within the first year. I'd suggest going with a different power supply, perhaps an OCZ/FSP Group, Seasonic, Antec Earthwatts/True Power/NeoHE.

haha you went from like normal to high end just with a couple comments from people on gamespot. what exactly is your budget?jashua-jash

Roughly $1500.

Hmm.. pretty weak selection of parts to choose from..

I'd love to recommend the M2N-SLi Deluxe, since I have one and it's one of the best motherboards I've ever owned.. but it's quite a bit more expensive. The M2N-E is fine I suppose, if you're not using high performance RAM or overclocking.

I'd suggest spending the extra $20 for the Antec NeoHE 500W power supply, as it is of much higher quality than the Smartpower 500W. Everything else looks good though.

Oh, the Antec NeoHE 500W...? Well earlier i suggested CoolerMaster Real Power 850w SLI, isn't the 850w better than the 500w one or is it because it's not compatible or something like that?

NO

are u doing SLI?

if you arent u dont need a 700w psu

Doesn't bioshock recommend a 512MB graphics card?dbowman

the box is full of ***** it can basicly max in on my 256mb 7800gt

Would you kindly go to http://www.pcsupreme.com/listesdeprix/listedeprix.pdf and.. look at the motherboards? Because i am really confused right now : / , i am not really good with PC customizing...Burdith

AHHH he said "would you kindly". Now he has to do it :P

BTW I run Bioshock with all max settings at 1920x1200 with 40+ fps. You should be fine.
