What is a good gaming computer that won't break the bank?

Question

I have just been through a depressing but necessary relationship with War hammer Online: Age of reckoning. Bought the game was fairly excited. Waited through the download, when it was time to run it--- NO SHOW-- unsupported video card and not enough ram. So now i realize my computer is outdated and basically obsolete compared to these 10000 GB of ram beasts. SO, i was just wondering what is a decent gaming computer (preferably a PC) that is powerful enough to run a game like War hammer online SMOOTHLY without breaking the bank.

Answer 1

If you want to not get screwed, go to newegg.com or any other computer parts shop (newegg is my favorite) and either have someone help you find parts and put it together or you can learn how, it's quite simple.



I built mine for roughly 900$ last april and it runs just about anything out there smoothly (even Crisis). The same stuff at this time(1 year since I made mine) would cost hundreds less than what I payed.

Answer 2

If you can build your own look up the system requirments on line at (www.srtest.com) and find the parts you need at (www.tigerdirect.com) or (www.newegg.com). You will need at least a 2.5Ghz processor, 1Gb of ram(2 if you have vista) a Nvidia geforce card get a 6600 or a 7 series at least, or if you want ATI go with a radeon 9800 or a hd 3870 there about $99 right now. If your buying one then you will need a prebuilt one with these specs or higher, see if a friend of yours knows how to put them together.
