    basically i wanted to know if this computer packs a nice punch for good gaming. I know its not a GREAT graphics card, but id imagine this is a good setup that’ll run games at pretty good settings and smoothly. how do you think it would compare for playing gta san andreas, and F.E.A.R. on max? and how high of a game do you think it can possibly go?

    if anything i would consider upgrading to a BFG – NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 OC 1GB GDDR3 PCI Express Graphics Card if the Nvidia GeForce 9100 doesn’t quite cut out to be worth much in terms of graphics power..

    Also if you think this is overall a good computer hardware setup, i usually go for intel processors, but this processor sounds really nice, the more opinions the better.

    thanks for the help. (:

    that should be fine, unless you want to spend ,000.00 to ,000.00+ there’s not anything much better on the market than that.

    HOWEVER you might want to WAIT for about a year before buying an new desktop. Windows will be have a new operating system (Windows 7) out by that time and some of the hardware MIGHT not be compatible (it probably will be but you never know)

    Answer by Seth
    Everything looks fine, I suggest you get a better video card if your looking forward to playing games on a good resolution and decent fps. Also be careful by using vista. Some drivers that come with stuff don’t support vista, so you have to go to their website and download it.

    Answer by ClanMan
    Without a graphics card you will not be running those games on max if at all. The integrated chip will give you a headache in games. If you buy this consider an upgrade (to the 250 like you mentioned) mandatory. Also consider upgrading the PSU it will most likely be insufficient to push a mid to high end card.

    Typical HP or Dell, no graphics card and a cheap PSU. My advice build your own!
