Forums - General - Can this PC handle these requirements?

Hi. I am looknig to upgrade to a different PC as mine is about 4-5 years old now. It is still a decent computer but it just sucks for video games. I really want it to play FF XIV. I would rather use my PC than my PS3 for MMORPGs.

 

The Alpha requirements are:

 

Operating System
Windows XP SP3
Windows Vista?32-bit / 64-bit SP2
Windows 7?32-bit / 64-bit

CPU
Intel Core 2 Duo (2.4 GHz)
AMD Athlon X2 (2.4 GHz)

RAM
Windows XP: 1.5GB
Windows Vista / Windows 7: 2GB

Hard Disk Space
10 GB for installing
10 GB on drive containing the My Documents folder for downloading

Graphics
NVIDIA® GeForce 8800 or higher VRAM 512 MB
Radeon HD 2900 or higher VRAM 512 MB

Sound
DirectSound compatible (DirectX 9.0)

Internet
Constant broadband connection

Monitor Resolution
1280 x 720 (32 bit color)

DirectX
DirectX 9.0c

Other
Mouse
Keyboard
Gamepad

 

and the PC I am looking into purchasing is this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229177

Would it be good enough? and I'm not smart enough to build my own so that is out of the picture. Lol.

I don't really know the PC language so all of this is just words coming in one ear and out the other to me.



Around the Network

My suggestion is that if you want this style of PC you're on the right track however you would be far better off with a PC containing an HD 5770 than the GTS 250 on account of the far lower energy useage, DX11 and better performance. These are two better choices in the same price range:

But yes, they can both all run the game very smoothly, more than smoothly actually.



Tease.

It looks like that that PC blows your requirements out of the water.



Damn Squalliam. That 2nd link you gave is pretty sweet. May look into that one.



Thank you, it looks pretty awesome.



Tease.
