I kind of have no idea about anythign to do with building a new computer, never done it before but confident i could do it if i had compatible parts....that's the thing though...i don't know which parts are compatible or good.
i'm trying to get a decent gaming computer (probably relatively low end) for around 650 or so including operating system not including monitor (although if a monitor could be included in this price i'd be overjoyed)
the only thing i have preference on is a ati 4850 512mb video card and at least 2 gbs of ram (i would prefer 4 so i can use the 64 bit windows vista but it's not necessary)....and ability to upgrade over time as needed (but not to soon).....however really all i'm looking to be able to do is play the rest of the games that are coming this year and the 2009 games on medium or even medium-low graphics (or even low is fine with me) but played smoothly. i can't stand when the game doesn't run smoothly! so if there is a better card then the 4850 that will do that at least what is described above (to your best predictions) put that in.
so basically here is the question, and i feel really bad doing this but i've tried to figure it out by myself for the last 3 months or so and i can't keep up with the changes and stuff, can the community help me design a computer that will do the above (play games up until the end of 2009 running smoothly without being upgraded until after that) for as cheap as possible
thank you, it would mean a lot to me my 2.5 year old laptop is dieing and i won't be able to play spore on it
