Would i be able to max out the graphics? would I be able to play all of those games on the highest settings?
Would they run fast?

also
when I get this computer I would probaly buy games like

F.E.A.R,Quake4,Battlefield2142,NFS Carbon,tom clancy Ghost Recon Advanced warfighter,
would this computer be able to play those games?

when i do get this computer I need a wireless adapter so i chose the
(Netgear WG111 54 Mbps Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter) Is this a good Wireless adapter? I have the Linksys router/Wap at home and its 54mbps​

Which gpu is better?

256MB ATI Radeon X1300 Pro

256MB NVIDIA Geforce 7300LE TurboCache

in my oppion the graphics card could be alot better if you want to max out graphics and have a good fps

EDIT defiantly if you want to buy games like fear and battlefield2142

 

[D-Lew]

I guess this is a desktop then?

I would improve memory and the GPU, the high-end 7 series is cheaper now, why not go for that? A 7900GS can be had for $130 and that will get the job done on all those games (I would NOT go for a 7300 if I were you). The memory may require you to get a better motherboard too, but I'd do DDR2-800 if possible.

I guess since you're financing you're not building, are you? You could probably get out a little cheaper by doing that. It just seems a little pricey since mine was about $1600 built one year ago, and with several faster parts than that.

The CPU should overclock well if you get a good cooler. I bet you could get it up to around 2.8-2.9GHz

okay thanks,
i will probaly do some upgrading when i get it ive ordered it
i went with the 256MB ATI Radeon X1300 Pro GPU

Yeah, the X1300 should out perform the 7300 by quite a bit.

 

[Trivium Nate]

okay thank you all so much i always get confused as to which gpu is better
thanks

You can't overclock on DELLs (unless done in the OS, but that isn't as good).

My only advice to you is to build it yourself. I just built a computer that is much better than yours and I paid ~$900. And for the gfx question, both of those cards are pretty bad, and won't play some of the newer games you owned at max settings. And those games you are probably going to buy, you could run them, but it wouldn't be max at all.

 

[Trivium Nate]

I don't want to overclock, Just play games,email,Internet,videos,DVD's

For the price your paying you could get a much nicer setup (not saying that the set you have right there is bad by any means.) I agree your going to have to go with a better GPU, you should try to stick with the eVGA cards. Heres the set up im getting for about the same price..
