Is this a laptop or desktop? Whats is your budget?

Also,

If this is a desktop you can get a amd althon 2 x4 @ 2.9 for 100$ and it's a great deal and is really easy to O.C. Also you may want to look into a 5770 there great for there price.

If it is a laptop then a 6770m w intel i5 or amd phenom x3 or 4

 

[bibberishly]

Its a desktop. Thanks for the lengthy response, but I just wanted to know if the specs I posted are decent.

 

[addison]

First off what is your budget? I could pick you better hardware than the rig you are planning to build and probably stay within your budget.

 

[bibberishly]

I already ordered the parts, and I have a slimline, so im very limited.
I just wated to know if I would be able to play the games I listed at decent settings.

Your going to regret those parts, you could have gotten a phenom 2 555 for 89$ get more frames than what you have now. and kill those games. You just gotta use that phenom instead of the althon 2. You have good ram. and everything else is fine. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5719246&CatId=4919

And http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6702536&CatId=28 (get low profile bracket box) And your set.

I was just looking to upgrade from my onboard graphics.

For seventy dollars on Newegg I got:
2 gigs of ram
a low profile 5570
a 480w psu
A Usb Card reader
And two games.

I can upgrade the cpu later on, and also upgrade to a 5670. How bad is my current cpu going to affect me?

 

[addison]

Well the best thing to do now is to over clock it to at least 3.0 or 3.1 and that would get the best out of it. Also, I wouldn't just buy ANY psu http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817338063&cm_re=slimline_power_supply-_-17-338-063-_-Product is the best right now, because not all PSU fit in ANY PC. Is it a slim pc, or like a standard computer you get froma company not the slim but fat one? Slim tower's need certain PSU andthat 350 will JUST lets you use your 5670 when you get it, unless you create your own pc .

 

[bibberishly]

Its a slim and i bought a standard atx psu, im going to use it externally

 

[addison]

Alright looking good so I guess this is done. If you have any problems contact me in a PM.

 

[bibberishly]

Alright, thank you
