This a good pc?

Question

I found a pc which I think is quite good but of course I have no idea what a good pc is so I need your help :P
The specs are -
Intel Pentium Dual Core E2180 / 2 GHz processor
4GB RAM DDR2 800 High Speed Ram
P5N-MX with NVIDIA GeForce 7050 / nForce 610i chipset
250GB HDD

Costs £190

Would it be able to run games such as team fortress 2, cs source and maybe cod4?
Thanks.

Answer 1

Not COD4, not sure about the other, Nvidia GeForce 7050 is an integrated graphics card and are pretty much worthless for gaming. The minimum requirements to play this game is a nvidia 6600 add on graphics card which is at least 2x faster than the 7050 and up to 4x faster is certain resolutions. Just look at the link I have provided.

The processor would do the job but the Pentium Dual Core is a little dated. For the price that isn't terrible though, but you would need to buy an add on graphics card at or above the minimum requirements for the game and more than likely a power supply to if your new graphics card required it.

Answer 2

it's decent, it should run team fortress 2 and cs source maybe 20 fps. CoD4 15 fps. If you get an entry geforce 8 or 9 series card, the framerate will become much more higher and more playable.

Well if you want to game....get a Dell or Alienware (which is owned by Dell...they just look cooler)....I would advise you to get a 3.0 ghz proccesor or higher...duo is good, but i have a quad core and its pretty damn good.



now for video cards i would get one or two (depening on how much money you want to spend) Nvidia 8800 GTX...one is good but make sure you get a power supply of AT LEAST 600 watts to power one of those puppies....a 1000 watt to power both of them.....you want AT LEAST 2 gigs of DDR 800 ramm or the new 1280 ramm (4 gigs would be SCREAMIN !!)....and at least a 160 gig hardrive 7200rpm SATA...those are some damn good specs there....dont waste ur money on ATI their products are crap...go Nvidia...i made that mistake and i wont make it again.

Answer 4

There are such programmes accessible that could replica a annoying tension .ONE CARE is one that I subsribe to, and use it to create a backup and equipment restoration disc, it is down loaded from Microsoft over the internet and is as much as date on a daily basis for a 365 days or as long as you subscribe.(See their website) yet another good technique is to purchase an exterior tension and upload the programme contents of your modern-day tension onto it... as quickly as confirmed which you do certainly have a duplicate of your stuff on the hot tension, bypass back to the previous tension and reinstall dwelling house windows from the backup help dept, then as quickly as each and every thing is back heading in the right direction circulate forward from there by utilising finding out on the programmes waiting for on the exterior tension which you opt to be reinstated back onto the unique tension. sell off or keep something it is as much as you,i might keep IT in simple terms IN CASE there became some thing i HAD missed. then create a restoration disc for dwelling house windows. One-care is a incredible programme to create this. because it may cope with equipment copies, programme backup and malware plus viral removing in realtime because it emerges. good success.
