[Davidloh Loh]

Hi name is David i want to play Cod 7 Black ops 2 with this computer spec but people keep asking me to buy new pc that i can't afford.

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo CPU E7500 @2.93Ghz 2.13Ghz
Installed Memory ( RAM ) 2.00 GB
System type : 64 - bit operating system
Graphic card : Nvindia Geforce 210 1gb

(Going to upgrade to 8 gb ram soon)
Any pros here can help me fix my pc that the people say i can't play for sure without buying a new pc? ( i record the gameplay while playing too ! ) Thanks for the help

Going to suggest a small investment - more ram, a 9800GT graphics card (or better if affordable) and a CPU heatsink so you can overclock your processor. Overclocking guide here http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=515316 with the addition of an SSD for your OS (optional) it'll likely feel like a new machine.

Too complicated for my level.

Although I think overclocking would improve your gaming, it isn't a requirement. The addition of ram and a better graphics card should help some IMO

Ok no no need to overclock?

No need to do anything you are not comfortable with, heck you could just go with your friends idea of getting a new computer (the easiest but most expensive route) but I think ram and graphics (especially if going from a 210 to 9800GT) should be enough to see improvement. To ensure your power supply can handle an upgrade like the 9800GT, what is the make and model of your PSU?

Another option I threw in before, having an SSD (64GB or bigger) for OS is an awesome thing IMO (just a reminder)

Not trying to nag, you can ignore this...
IMO Overclocking should be something to research and consider as computer knowledge increases since there is the potential for great improvement in gaming (and outside of aftermarket cooling, it's free).
