  Getting a new PC - SuggestionsHey there. It's good old "9 posts" himself, asking for a nice bit of community help.
I'm getting a new PC. Money off from Open University and stuff, and this one is pretty bad. I run most games at 20-30FPS. Half a gig of RAM. I'm wondering what goes into an overall good gaming experience. I'm guessing that I'll want more RAM, and something better than this 5-year-old graphics card. But I'm wondering about processers and the like. Whether I need a more powerful one, and what it would do. Working on a mild budget, here, as well. |

Re: Getting a new PC - Suggestions Some rules of thumb for decent game performance:
CPU: Single core 3.0GHz, Dual core 1.8GHz RAM: >= 2Gig HDD: >= 120Gig GPU: >= 256bit That said, I'm no expert. |
