Ah great, thanks guys.

As for specific games, I'd like to try a bit of Black Ops, Oblivion, Starcraft, Crysis, The Witcher 1 & 2, maybe a DiRT game. Might give WoW a go but I'm pretty sure that'll be fine as I can run it on this piece of shit. Fallout 3 and NV, Mass Effect, GTA IV, Portal 2, Civ V.

Just a few off the top of my head.

Hey guys, not long ago I created a topic asking about pc specs for gaming. Since then, my situation has changed so the budget of £900 has gone down to £500. I just found a pc for £489 and was wondering if anyone could tell me what games it can run on what settings. I plan on getting a new graphics card for it probabaly within the next 3 or 4 months, but will this setup do me for now? Will it run games at top or near top settings? Thanks.

Thanks for all the replies. It's all so technical I have no idea what most of it is!

I want the pc to run all the games on high but the other main thing I would use it for is internet browsing and downloading and playing movies and music. The 570 to 580 upgrade is like another £180 on top and a few people say it isn't worth that. This is what I'm thinking.

Thanks again.

Hey guys. I'm looking into buying a gaming pc and am in need of some help. I've been on www.pcspecialist.co.uk, they offer finance which is what need. I want a pc that will run games on pretty much, top settings. I can spend at most, £1000. Is this do-able? If someone could go to the site and configure me something on it would help me. They have pre set gaming ones and I was looking at this for £999 http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/view/MW3-Xtreme-PC/

Will this run most games high end, if so is there anything cheaper that could be done? For all I know, theres are things on it that I'll never need!

Thanks.

Hey guys. I've been looking at the internet at the power node secret on Ascension, I'm looking for people to do it with as most people I get into games with have no idea what to do. I will explain if you don't know, but I don't have a headset so we'll have to just work out the to-do list before we start. I'm on 360. Must have 3players who know what they're doing on zombies. Anyone?

I'd be interested.
