Hey guys.

I don't have the money now, but I still want to keep my head fresh for what I should be looking for in a good computer to keep up with todays newest games, without lagging what so ever.

Some guys on a Danish hardware forum suggested this a good while back, and I just wanted to hear if you guys had some comments on what this computer offers? Will this be sufficient, and will it be capable of running the latest FPS games on high without lag? (This way I know I can at least run future games on decent graphics).

Thanks for any info you can give me. The price, to let you not need to convert it yourself, is, by today's currencies:

EURO: 672,49
DOLLARS: 859,18

Thanks again.

Kirluu~

That's really good.
Consider switching the HD6950 for a 6870 unless you plan on flashing your card.

As this is a preset, I'm not sure how I can really change the card ;s

And I'm sorry to say that I haven't figured out if I can make it cheaper by finding the pieces at individual prices.

Also; Please explain what you mean by flashing the card? ;o Is that to be understood as it not needing to be that good, or ?

Before you do that research, ask yourself if you'd feel comfortable assembling your own box. It's not that hard, but some people just don't want to or don't like to do it.

I would hesitantly say you could make that system for less piece by piece, as that is the case in most scenarios. It looks like a good gaming system, well suited for most modern games at a respectable framerate and graphics level.

Processor is kind of meh. And 500W power supply look rather weak for such setup.

I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.

If Quad 3,6 GHz is meh, then I've been away from the market for too damn long. I thought that the processor was one of the stronger sides. Oh well.

About the power supply: I actually currently use a 800 W one, to avoid my computer getting as hot as it used to. (It used to get really hot after about 5-6 hours of gaming, and eventually my supply would die on me, which it did twice with the same kind of supply. I then got a new one with 800W, and now the pc is never in head trouble. ;o I suppose that could work for the new pc as well ?

Nah Quad 3,6GHz is good, just AMD sucks. Their built quality is low and their L2 Cache is minimal. Intel are way better, but more expensive aswell. Yeah 800W is fine for such computer. 500W is too low for such build, you might experience some resets because power supply couldn't provide enough energy when under heavy loads. And you might want too add some cooler or something, so some extra Wats won't hurt.

AMD doesn't suck. They just don't make as fast CPUs as Intel. They're still relatively cost efficient.
Besides, GPU matters way more than CPU for gaming.

@OP
Like I said; switch the HD6950 for a HD6870 if you aren't planning on flashing it.
You can make this switch by clicking the "Konfigurer selv og vÌlg tilbehør" button.
I'm Swedish, so I understand roughly what it means. Besides, we have Komplett here too.

@Zoki
500W is fine for that setup. AMD GPUs are very power efficient. (I think CPU+rest of the comp will take 150-200W, and a 6950 will take ~250W while a 6870 takes ~200W. That's all in heavy load too ofc)

It used to be a GHz race, but now it's all about speed. And GHz is not an accurate measurement tool for overall speed.

Yeah sure you can go with 500W, but you can also forget about any overclocking or any additional coolers, which you may regret later.

About AMD processor, you can get Intel i3 for same price and it's a bit better and it's built quality is better. Intel Core i3 2100 which is Core 2 Duo with 3.1GHz beats AMD FX-4100 that is Quad 3.6GHz. But 2100 cant be overclocked, so if you're intending to overclock I suggest you go with AMD. But as stated, if you're gonna take AMD and overclock it, you'll need stronger power supply.

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
