go play LOTRO .. coz im downloading it now XD.. just dont set it to ULTRA setting..
the witcher 2 yeah.. but its laggy/unstable.. i myself barely get 30fps on max setting ..
The GTS 450 is not much more powerful than an 8800gt although it does have directx 11 features.Quote:

Also I have a 22inch 1680x1050 monitor and whenever I play games I can usually handle them on high or max settings fine even with my older 8800gt setup.
His rig is nothing special you could build a better one for better bang for buck.Quote:

I play with 24" monitor, 1080p is a must for me XD
I7 2600k, 8gb ram, ati hd6950(2gb), hdd 3.5tB
Doesn't look bad. I'd try to get a quadcore though, seeing certain games and quite the few heavier apps are getting onto quadcores as minimum requirements.Quote:

Really going to advise against getting an AMD CPU when you've got the Intel Sandy Bridge CPUs around which are much better. Budget one is i3-2100.
That means you'd also want to get a P67 mobo, I'd recommend Gigabyte or Asus.
RAM is cheap, might as well get 8GB. 64 bit Win7 OEM as well if you don't already have it.
Do you have a decent (Corsair/Antec) 600W+ PSU? Might want to get one as well. Don't get a crappy one, no matter the Wattage.

Hyperthreading actually doesn't help with game performance either.
As for the RAM, I've looked at some benchmarks from TH and it does affect your performance... by a mere 0.01fps in most of the cases. Maximum 1fps in the extreme cases.
got to love the internet for pulling so much fake stuff on you...
Still, RAM is cheap and easy to add, so just add 4GB of ram and spend the 50/100usd on something else.
/me points at sig.Quote:
