question about the ATI Radeon X1650 (256MB)

hi i am looking to buy a new computer and one of the ones i was looking at comes ati radeon x1650 256 mb. is that card any good like could it run battle field 2?

thanks

It would run Battlefield 2, but i still wouldn't recommend that you get it.

How much are you looking to spend on a PC ?

yea im not going to get it. my dad is looking to spend around 700. nothing top of the line but ok to run some fps'. i was just looking around at some parts and it is better to build a computer. i was looking at a intel core 2 duo 2.0, decent motherboard, 1gb of ram, 250 gb harddrive, case, power supply, dvd burner, and GeForce 7900GS 256MBgraphics card for about 600. we already have a monitor and stuff. all those parts are name brand not crap just dont feel like listing all the details._christoph

Sounds pretty good to me. If you live in America make sure you get your parts from Newegg.com , its the cheapest place.
