just because its got a fancy case dosnt make it a good computer.

that onboard GPU sucks bad, its been out 3 years an it probably cant even play solitaire.

and the onboard GPU wouldn't play any of those games you mentioned, especially crysis.


EDIT:

that IGP (integrated graphics processor) got 22fps on high settings
as soon as i can i'll run it on my 4850 to show you why its worth waiting to upgrade.

 

[pc4life]

alright thank you! what are your thoughts on that processor? would it be worth getting a better gpu or just continuing to wait and save up?

 

[sniperviper21]

be worth getting a better GPU, but personaly id save up.


and stop making new topics on the same thing.
