Decent gaming setup?

I'm looking at purchasing this pre-built setup:

- Intel Core2 Duo E7200 (2.53ghz)

- 4GB RAM

- 500GB HDD

- Windows XP Pro installed

I'm also buying a graphics card to go with it:

- Gigabyte ATI HD4850 512mb, DDR3, PCI-E

I know it may not be the greatest gaming setup ever, but i only have a small budget and i would just like to know:

1) whether it would play something such as World of Warcraft on decent video settings without much trouble.

2) whether it will play most games comfortably on medium/low video settings.

Thanks in advance.

1: That computer could probably play four games of maxed World of Warcraft simultaneously with a good internet connection.

2: Easily - that machine should be able to run any game on the market on high at the very least, and it won't be restricted to medium/low settings for two-three years.

i actually dont have that information as of yet..

but im not sure if i will want to OC it just yet, as i said, i have a VERY tight budget and can just afford the PC and graphics card, let alone extras such as a new case/power supply.

without any OCing, and assuming the RAM is say, 800mhz or whateva, is it still an OK setup?

Yeah, i will only be running it at max 1280 x 1024.

If this changes the speed at which games will run, then inform me.

I just want to be sure im getting bang for my buck.

Bit-tech just did an article regarding 2GB versus 4GB and came to the conclusion that the days of having 4GB for gaming are nigh, if not already upon us.RayvinAzn

I can belive that after photoshop chocking on my 2gb the other day when I had lots large (a3) images open, made me consider that but I only have 32bit so not sure if its worth it

Get the Asus HD4850 for the fan control software. The Gigabyte has a lower memory clock than reference.
