I'm buying a new desktop to be able to run PS2 with a decent frame rate on high graphics settings.
The following are the specs of one i found that is really well priced but i dont want to buy it and be disappointed. so can anyone tell me how planetside will run on this?

CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 645 @3.1 Ghz
Ram: Kingston 4GB DDR3 @1600 Mhz (2x2GB)
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 660 2GB
PSU: 500w PSU
HDD: 500GB @7200

i would upgrade the ram and psu for sure

it's being sold for $450 which as far as i can tell is a steal (but i may be wrong)
i'm not sure on the brand of the PSU

Yeah, that is definitely good for $450. If it includes an OS and everything it's worth about $550-$650 if you were to build it yourself. Since we don't know the case or PSU it's hard to get a closer estimate.

Have fun playing PS2 with that cpu. 3570k @ 4.2Ghz and in large firefights the game becomes cpu bound and dips under 60fps.

Add +400hz to your 660's memory clock, 110% power target and you'll be set.


Well, yeah, but I still think he should get it for $450 despite the possible CPU bottleneck.
