Hello, right before Starcraft 2 came out I was looking to build an inexpensive system that could run it on ulta settings. I ended up buying this prebuilt sytem for $300:
Processor AMD Athlon II X2 Dual-Core 215 Processor
Memory (RAM) 4GB
Type of Memory DDR3
Memory Expandable to 8GB
Hard Drive Size 640GB
Hard Drive Type SATA
Optical Drive 16X DVDñR/RW SuperMulti Drive
Operating System Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Network Card 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN (RJ-45 Port)
Video Graphics Integrated ATI Radeon HD4250 Graphics Solution
The same day that I bought this computer, I also bought a 5770 graphics card and about a week later I upgraded the PSU to an Antec Earth watts 650w. This system can play SC2 at 60+ FPS at 1920x1080 so I met my goal. Now that I have been playing SC2, I am getting sucked back into PC gaming and would like to upgrade the processor to a Phenom II X4 or X6 so I can can play more CPU intensive games. The current motherboard is a socket AM3 with AMD 880g chip set. I am willing to flash the BIOS if I need to, but I just want to make sure I can actually do this upgrade before I purchase a new processor.
Thanks
