I just purchased this new computer because my current one is crap. What do you guys think, any good? I play mostly console games but if I wanted to play PC games do you think I would be able to ex: Starcraft2, Crisis, Sims3 etc. Thanks in advance guys. Appreciated.

Small monitor, but overall looks really good. You won't need to upgrade your RAM anytime soon.



You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.

You have plenty of RAM and CPU, your video card is very nice as well. How much did you get this for?

PC, XBox 360, Wii, PS2, DS, PS3

 

I paid about $1,100. When I buy my HDTV I will look for one with PC input but for now I dont mind 20in. Thanks for the quick reply guys. I was considering geting Nvidia9800 but though it was too much. Did I make the right choice or will I still be able to play Crysis. lol

Yeah, you can play any modern PC games on that rig, and should be able to run them on at least minimum for a couple of years, probably more.

mm pretty nice rig, but if u want it for gaming you should have lowered a little bit the procesor and got a 4850 or if u could 4870, they are way better than the 3870 other stuff all good, still pretty nice rig =) congrats



NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ewwww....Dell....

Just kidding, looks shiny.

You might want to get a better mouse though if you're really into FPSers.



I mainly play console games, I'll see what happens. I just want to have the option of picking up a PC game if I want, especially 360 exclusive ports since I have a PSWii and some PC exclusives as well.
