I've read a lot of threads about gaming builds and am a former (returning) gamer myself. I graduated high school and basically stopped gaming after that. Would like to start again but the tech has changed quite a bit since then so I don't know what to do.
I am in need of a gaming desktop that can play Planetside 2 on medium-high settings with ~30FPS in a huge fight (anyone familiar with the game will know what I am talking about) I would prefer quad core because planetside was very CPU intensive and I can imagine PS2 is as well.
My list:
I need the entire PC: from the case to the OS.
Windows 7 or xp (not 8)
Quad core (unless you can advise me a reason why a dual core would be just as good for my purposes)
Good graphics (ps2 is not very graphics intensive but I would like it to look nice nonetheless)
$500 budget
Anything else you can recommend, I'm a noob ATM, looking to learn.
For anyone not well read on PS2, I have heard that Intel is better than amd for this game.
Again please advise me from a to z on what is required in building your own PC, what guides and resources would be useful to me. Etc
My budget is $500 including tax and everything, I may be able to go over a bit if there is a good reason.
