How to start PC gaming

What kind of processor and how much ram should you get to play most pc games

and what kind of graphics card

You should direct your query to the PC hardware forums, but so as to not sound like a jerk...

I recommend an E7400 CPU, ATI Radeon 4830, 4GB DDR2 RAM.

as a general rule of thumb u need the following:

either an intem pentium d/CORE 2 DUO/CORE 2 QUAD/CORE I7

or amd 64 +3200 or better (check the amd website look for multicore cpu)

memory anything DDR2 or DDR3 is fine (ddr2-667, ddr2-800, ddr2-1066, ddr3-1333, etc.)

finally for graphics u either need a modern laptop graphics chipset (for laptop gaming) or for desktop basically nivida 8000 or hd 3000 series card PCI-e x16 is the ideal for these cards but u can find them in AGP card slot types, if u dont know which u need simply look on the motherboard it will blatantly say so in white letters.

CPU: at least a dual core processor (AMD 5400+ X2 or Intel E7300 )

RAM: 4GB if you motherboard supports that much memory ( DDR2 )

GPU: 512MB Graphics card (9800GT, 9600GT or ATI 4850)

then you can play pretty much evey game

If you are scared to build, get this http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4138011&CatId=2630

Then get xfire, then get steam

Then just add friends, and learn to play games

the little birdies suggestion above me is solid but to conserve a little bit of money u can buy and hd 4670 of geforce 9600gt and be just as well off.aura_enchanted

Right now a 4670 is only $20 less on Newegg and not nearly as powerful. While it's a solid card if you have a lower-wattage PSU (my younger brother has a 4670 himself), right now that 4830 I linked is only $100. You could buy a prebuilt for around $600 without a GPU and then order that 4830 from Newegg if you want.

E7300 actually isn't bad at all. We need to know the other specs as well as the manufacturer. Can you provide a link?

For a good graphics card, you'll need a good power supply. Or just get the HD4670 and it probably will work with the PSU that comes with that pc.
