Hiya.

Can someone tell me whether or not this PC will be able to play World Of Warcraft, Lord Of The Rings Online & Spore and other like games to the best quality possible, which means good frame rate and soun. Here's some information below, and the actual link.

Grab a feature-packed desktop at an attractive price with the iXtreme X9610 from Packard Bell. The X9610 is sustained by powerful Dual Core Quad processing technology.

Intel® Core 2 Quad Q8200 processor

(2.33GHz, 1333MHz FSB, 4MB Cache)

Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium

4GB DDR2 667MHz memory

768MB NVIDIA® GeForce 9600GS

It will eat them alive, there was really no point even asking. Non of those games are anywhere near games such as Crysis, Farcry 2 ect and it could probably handle those on medium settings.

So I'll have no problems with this computer then? What kind of framerate do you think I would be looking at?

No idea on the framerate but it should handle all of those games on full just fine.

More than what will matter. Youre not gonna be able to tell the difference at anything greater than 60fps.

That's a mediocre processor. You might be able to run WoW at 40~ fps on medium settings without v-sync.

Note: HEY LOOK AT ME I BOUGHT A PC

what would you all recommend then, but preferably affordable as I'm really only interested in these titles and genres like them. I'm not needing to play the likes of Fallout or Crysis on the PC.

Seriously.... where do you guys get your info from? Go do some studying up before giving advice on these things... As to answer the guys question. Dude that will run those games with Ease! Personally though I would rather build my own pc and make sure i get every single component tha I like and will always end up cheaper as well. The only thing of course is, you need to know what you are doing. So if you don't then just get that pc which looks pretty decent to me.

Seriously... they were just joking. Yeah anyway you'll be able to handle those games without a problem. Most if not all computers classed under the "gaming" category can handle those because those games don't really have high requirements.

Thanks for the advice guys. I have considered building my own computer, but the problem I'd have is what hardware to buy and the like
