Is this a good computer?

could this computer run games like crysis, fallout 3 gta 4 halo 2 cod 4 and 5? and in what settings?

OMG, this is a QX processor! Heaven sent alright! :)



I am unimpressed with the mere measly 4 gigs of RAM...what a let down for QX processor! Upgrade that to a better 8 gigs and make it DDR2 1066 or better and then you are a killer, LOL.



4 gigs is too paltry for a QX killer processor! Don't gang tie the poor thing, release the power! Get more ram!
It's a little out of balance. You've got an entry level motherboard paired with a power-user processor and video card. Not to mention, that video card is wasted horsepower (and money!) on anything less than a 30" monitor running at 2560 res.



Most people just want the fastest possible and don't stop to think if it's even appropriate for their use.



You can run fallout 3, GTA4, Halo 2, and Cod4 and Cod5, on much much less, and still have EVERYTHING maxed out, above refresh rate. Crysis is an exception. Personally, if you're spending that much on a system, at least get a better mobo like the 780 or 790. Also, most people (as much as they'd like to think they do) DON'T NEED THE 4870X2!



The only game that would benefit from more then 4GB of RAM is Crysis... IF, and only if, you get the x64 version of windows. But you really won't see any performance difference.



Also, as mentioned before, for the cost you're spending on this, you could easily get the Core i7 setup and it would be much better.



If you have a 30" monitor, and if you have Vista 64-bit, then some of this hardware is appropriate, albeit overpriced and slightly old in the case of the processor. But otherwise, you're wasting a lot of money on performance you won't ever see. It's like buying a ferrari but not having a driver's license, ya know?Is this a good computer?
go to nanafriend,

they're a computer business that you'll get the best pc for your money.



what they do is work with you to find out exactly what you want the computer for, and they will build a computer pinpointing things to make it best in whatever area, making it ideal for you and your needs.

and they go by your budget too.



if you buy ANY computer from a store, it will



1.) be overpriced for what it cost to make, probably about 1/2 of your money would go to profitting the manufacturer and sales tax.



2.) not be that great of quality. computers sold usually are for "general use" and all around 'decent'. but not good in any areas.



if you go to nanafriend, they build one custom for you (you can even help with the building if you want, by choosing cases and all that, they're really cooperative)

and they will make the best computer you can get for your money.

basically the only thing you pay them for is to buy the parts to build the pc. they come up with a few design models for you, and let you choose which you like. you don't even need to know anything about computers, they do it all for you. they even customize too, with clear windows and LED lights and all that if that's what you're into.

i bought a pc from them a while ago and am VERY satisfied with it.

very good quality for way less price than any store.



i don't think you'll get any decent computer for 500 dollars, but you'll definitely get the best pc you can buy for 500 dollars, if you go to nanafriend. probably 3x better than that one.



all of their parts are brand new, they provide a warranty and even a lifetime of support service.

you'll like them

congrads you win the best gaming computer award so far on yahoo answers,will you please post this on different sites,settings to me any

run the best graphic game heavy rain,good luck and happy gaming,ps believe me the only other that will out do you is the playstation 3 the exspensive one about 800 bucksIs this a good computer?
Yes its good



u can run everything



but if u going to get the 750i why would u get a ATI card脡



if u wanna to upgrade down the road u have to buy a completely new card



but if u get a GTX 295 which is better than the 4870x2, you can just buy a new GTX295 and put them in SLI
The money that your spending on the QX9650 you could get an intel corei7 that is faster and cheaper.



But in short yeh that pc will run all them games nice.
It will run everything smoothly, however not always with AA,



If your going to splurge like that, why not grab 8 GB of ram?
it cant run crisis to its best settings, nor gta 4.but everything else is able to be run perfectly.
Yeah its a great computer, could run those games on maximum settings, but crysis on high for best performance.
This is an excellent computer to play games on.
damn nice buddy. yes, it can run all those games in max setting. on crysis, depend how high the resolution.
YES.On high settings.
PERFECT FOR GAMING, SHOULD NOT HAVE A PROBLEM. NO SETTINGS TO PUT IT ON. JUST RUN PC NORMALLY.
It's pretty easy when you just pick out the most expensive **** without thinking about it.
i would have to say hell yeah that is one nice computer
yeah
