Forums - PC Discussion - Is this a good gaming pc?

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9023022&type=product&id=1218009477085

 

I have been wanting a new gaming pc for quite a while now and this one has just come into best buy this week. Everything looks good to me except for 2 things I dont know a whole lot about. I have always been an nvidia video card man myself so I know nothing about ATI so is that video card that comes with it a good video card. Also the 2nd concern is that its only 2 mb of cache... dont know if thats good enough or not. I think I might get the day after thanksgiving and I can probably save 100-200 off the tower and Iam also probably going to get the 22" hp lcd at the same time.

EIGHT GIGS OF RAM?

Holy jumping poo!

Yeah that looks pretty nice, though if you're going really high-end you're probably going to want to replace the graphics card with something meatier like a 4850..



Anyone else have an opinion?

Is a better gaming PC. It costs $100 less and has a better processor and video card.

Is a better $900 machine.

I mean better in terms of specifications to the $$$.

I think if you have any more questions you need to tell us what kind of gaming you're gonna be doing, what size monitor you intend to use etc.



Tease.

That's not a gaming setup. The videocard is absolutely terrible, and the balance in the system is way off. You'd better buy the components seperately and let a company assemble them.

Check out the chump boxes! Especially take note of the lower compaq one, you can get pretty awesome performance for under $500.
