Build help!, Capability????

[Illest]

I had an original system build but after forums have made some modifacations to make it a cheap build but very capable of games, what do you think this system is capable of, Skyrim? Battlefield 3? MW3? New Vegas? games like that?

Don't forget the operating system (and make sure you get/install a 64-bit version of it to use all 4 GB of RAM). Oh, and optical drives. Those can still be useful.

Otherwise, I don't see any real problems here and should game fine, for the most part. The CPU is going to be a limiting factor in some games, but I don't thing she'll do too horribly for most.

yes i have windows 7 premium 64 bit and a 24x opticak dive

At this point, you'll be fine then.

 

[Illest]

what would be a better cpu that wouldnt be super spendy?

 

[phyco126]

Honestly, you're fine. The next best thing (on the Intel side) is more expensive, and this processor will be fully capable in handling things. Once you play games that want to use more cores, you'll benefit from a quad-core, but those are few and far between. Not worth the cost right now if you can't afford it. The 2100 is a good chip on her own.

Edit: I should add, I have a dual-core that is slower than the 2100, and I game just fine on medium settings at 1920 x 1200 on most games (Crysis included), running a dated GPU. I was just saying the CPU may be a factor in some games, but I didn't mean to make it sound like you needed anything better. I just meant that in the rare game that wants more cores, you'll see higher FPS. But by that point, you'll already have more FPS than you'll know what to do with.

oh ok then thank you
