Solve : Good for gaming???

Answer»

Is this a good computer for gaming considering price???
If not where could I get a better one in my price range???(0$-1000$ is my price range)

ATI Xpress 200 integrated graphics with up to 256MB shared memory

Integrated graphics cards are notorious for being slow! But the good thing is you can just BUY a graphics card and put it in. So you could try it with the integrated card, see if it's too slow, then just buy a new graphics card if required. Not sure about American dollars, but I'd expceted you'd need to pay at least $200 for a decent card.I'm canadian bucks dood!! [smiley=cheesy.gif]add another $1000 to your budget and then you will have a good gaming comp.

my comp was $2000.No can do unless await another year!! Or get a high paying job fast!You can buy a computer now and upgrade over time?Yes that is what I'm planning to do.Upgrade over time!Make sure you get a computer that can support dual-graphics cards. Then you an buy a card, then later you can upgrade by buying another card to use in conjunction with your present card, without "wasting" the money you spent on your first one, if you get my meaning.

It would be better for him to just buy one extremly high end card (which almost all support SLI) and then continue by upgrading his motherboard, CPU's etc. But its definitly cheaper to buy it all at once.

An awsome SITE is www.cyberpowerpc.com. I have purchased 3 computers from them for myself and people i work for.

Just a heads up though, 64 bit system is fine... its the dual processors that cuase problems some times. =pYes it would be better for everyone to just buy the best components right at the start - but who is going to pay for it? lol, im 17 now and i bought mine when i was sixteen.

Total price - $2,000 USD including shipping.

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 4200+ Dual Core With HyperTransport Technology
RAM: 4GB (4,096MB)
Power SUPPLY: 680 Watt SLI ready

Lil Falco's mom!

Where are the specifications on that website, I can't seem to find them in less than 3 seconds which means I wouldn't buy from them even if the world was on fire. Which it is, so that's why I'm not buying from 'm.check it out: www.gamepc.com just for reference...WAY too xpensive!!
