I was reading some reviews on newegg and they said that the graphics were underpowered or average. And it's like, really? My brother's computer has a 4870 radeon card and that thing is amazing. Are people just stupid?



Do you only play normal games on Starcraft?



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

Yeah, usually 1v1 or 3v3 or 4v4.

But I'm open to other things.

4870 easily beats 5750 tho in benchmarks.

5750 is good for games you listed, but games like AvP(new one), metro 2033, crysis 1 or 2...on medium and higher settings and 1920x1080...won't be pretty.

Your new machine is quite solid other than for the 5750 which sticks out a little on the "underpowered or average" side :)

it's because every other month AMD nd NVIDIA  release a new graphic card. Trust me, you have a pretty good card.

I won't be running any games at any resolution higher than 1440x900, so I will be fine :) And no 3D for me :D
