Need help with PC purchase!!

[heman]

I waa looking for a pc that will be able to run most of todays games( far cry 2, batman etc) on medium or higher graphical settings with little to no problem.

 

I found this on ebay:

VIBOX D-220 | QUAD CORE 3.4GHz AMD PHENOM PC COMPUTER on eBay (end time 01-Oct-10 00:35:50 BST)

 

(normal link just in case)

VIBOX D-220 | QUAD CORE 3.4GHz AMD PHENOM PC COMPUTER on eBay (end time 01-Oct-10 00:35:50 BST)

 

Now I can add a 500 watt Power supply unit and a ATI 4850 hd graphics card. If i do that will I be good to go?

For what they are charging, you could build the system yourself.

 

Do you have an absolute budget ? and does this have to include a monitor, an OS etc?

 

Do you have any parts that can be re used from another PC to keep costs down or are we starting from scratch.

I tend to agree, nice case, shame about the PSU and 2GB memory. I wouldn't buy a box like that and spend more money on it.

 

Get yourself something with 4GB RAM, decent board and PSU and add your video card if you need to.

I Agree with Dalo on this - I saved around £200 when I built my system (Specs are on my Sig), before you do anything you need to decide on..

 

1. What you are using the system for.. so in your case Gaming.

2. What are you prepared to spend?
