What Would You Reccommend?

well if you must get one of those, swap out the video card when you buy it with something else, like a 560 ti or a 6850

• Intel Pentium Processor E5700 Dual Core 3.0Ghz Socket AM3
• Gigabyte G41MT-S2P Motherboard - Socket AM3
• Asus ATI Radeon HD 5450 1GB
• 8GB 1333MHz DDR3 Memory
• CiT Mars Midi Tower Gaming Case with 2 x Blue LED Fans

This one?

The most important piece of hardware for gaming is the graphics card. Both systems you linked have one of the worse graphics cards on sale.

Look for:

AMD 5770, 6770 or above

Nvidia GTX 460, 560 or above.

Does Processer Speed Count for Something ? Like If the reccommended requirements are 3.0GHz

Is that important - say If mine is 2.8?

thanks I see now in the Amazon sell it has a drop down button for upgraded versions

Alot more cash it has to be said

GTX 460 is the next one down - is it worth it?

Thanks All You

i have a gtx 460 and it maxes pretty much everything, im sure others here will tell you different though.

460 is perfect, grab that with the AMD 1055 PC and have lots of fun.

Yeah People Here Got Some Crazy Rigs lol

That's Cool I Wish I Had Some Crazy Monster Computer

Someone said you need a British Power Cable (250v).

What does he Mean?

I'm thinking of might go for this

• 4096 MB DDR3 PC-1333 MEMSeven RAM
• 550W ATX-PSU
• Geforce GTX 460 1024 MB

What Are You Playing On Your Systems?

That one is fine, if you can stretch to gtx 560ti, it would be better but there is nothing wrong with the gtx 460.

I'm guessing the seller on Amazon isn't supplying a power lead with the computer, so you'll need to get one.

I guess you have a monitor/display, a keyboard and mouse. Also how much are you going to pay for that system? Just want to make sure your not paying way over the odds.

I need a keyboard and post - it's gonna cost A LOt

Gtx 560ti isn't an option I would have to manually - I think the GTx 460 will do more than well more than I expect it to

just upgrade thre power supply and the video card.. an athlon II x4 is really good.

-Buying a computer, not building it yourself

-Buying a computer for a console port.

Don't do this.

Hmm I'm not sure about that

A Console Port hmmm ??

What exactly do you mean?

well hitman will guaranteed be a console port.. squar eenix has prooved this time and time again with basically all but supremem commander 2 with every other pc game they have ever made.. expecting hitman to be "different" is jsut foolish.. your system will atm play hitman 2010 on medium or high if that trend continues..

skyrim will run on low just fine. if you simply switched the graphics card to something along the lines of a gtx 460 or hd 6850 i see no reason why you couldnt MAX OUT both games and play hitman with 60+ fps (assuming square doesnt use an fps cap like mercenaries 2, or fallout 3 did..)

What Is A Console Port ?

basically a console port is any game done on a console first and then sent to pc. a horrible console port usually has either stupid high system requirements on the box like ghostbusters (2009) did or is a horrible and pale shell of the game on consoles often due to bugs or not taking advantage of the platform such as: splinter cell: conviction or mercenaries 2 or CoD: BLOPS

bad console ports and console ports in general have the following system requirements (i mean all of them, lost planet, cod, you name it):

intel core 2 duo e4400 or amd eq.

1-2gb ram

ati x1800/x1900 series or better (or nvidia eq.). to put this in perspective the e4400 is ultra weak ever for a core 2 duo and the x1900 is at best even with modern media center cards like the hd 6570/gt530

Intel 2600k 2x MSI GTX 580 Lightnings XE 2 SSD Corsair AX1200 8GB RAM You'll probably still run the game below 20fps....MasterTony

you be trolling..

and id sooner recommend the captain 580 over the lightning.. it costs more

Is Gtx 460 to ATI 6870 a Big Jump ?

It's 30 Pound More

I Like this because It's silent - or should I just get a fan for the 2nd one?

Because the GPU doesn't suck like in the other 2...

The most important part of a gaming pc is the GPU/graphics card.

You've linked many with an ATI 5450, that card is not worth having.

To even consider gaming decently, you want:

Nvidia GTS450, 550ti or better

AMD 5770, 6770 or better
