i found these and could anyone tell me which kit would run arma 2 the best. Asus M4A785-M PowerUp Barebones Kit - Asus M4A785-M Mobo, AMD Phenom X4 9650 CPU, Ultra 2GB DDR2 RAM, Seagate 750GB HD, PowerUp ATX Mid-Tower Case w/450W PSU, MSI DH-24AAS-17 DVD Writer, or Biostar MCP6PB M2+ Power Up Barebone Kit - Biostar MCP6PB M2+ Motherboard, AMD Phenom X4 9650 Quad CPU, Centon 2GB DDR2 RAM, LG DVD Writer, 2TB Hitachi Internal HD, Power Up ATX Case w/450W PSU

all of that was only 400 bucks? i should build my comp instead i guess.

so can i just buy a motherboard with a pci-16 slot? im not tech smart so i dont know if this is something where i could just buy a new motherboard.

so i just have to change the cpu and graphics card and switch to xp or 7? whats a good but cheap graphics card and cpu then?

im buying this comp from my friend and what should i change? here are the specs. w5243 (vista sp2 O.S.) im changing it to windows 7, 320 © GB (12) GB Recover SD, 2.0 RAM (i know i have to get more RAM), AMD Anthlon 64 3800+ 2.4 GHZ, nvidia 6100 nforce 405, high def audio device. how well will i run arma 2 and what else should i change?

kk thanks for the info

im going to buy a comp and should it be a 64 bit comp with an AMD graphics?

is 64 bit with AMD good?

i might get a comp with this. i know theres a thread on this but i dont want it to get mixed up with other posts.

guess not.....sry -_-

the computer im going to get soon will only run arma 2 from low to medium settings. does arma 2 look bad with low settings or is it just average? a video would help also.

^^ ew lol. ya ill just run this on normal settings.

would this be able to run on normal settings good and what would the FPS be?

9600GT, Athlon II X2 240, DDR3 2GB, AM3 Motherboard, Antec Basiq PSU. i might get a phenom instead of the anthlon and 4gb instead of 2. id like to thank Frederf for this recommendation but alot might change later on.

i didnt know where to put this so just move it if its in wrong forum.

im trying to found the kind of computer to get to play Arma 2 (just the tower, no monitor). i have almost no idea what to get so please list all the specs of the tower. i found the pieces for a cheap quad core so ill try to find and post it to see if it will be good to get it.

so would that run Arma 2 on what settings? ---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ---------- also what you listed is all i need for Arma 2? since im starting from scratch ill need ALL new pieces. the only thing left if i were to get those would be the shell?

oh good cause the core i7 was cheaper than the quad i was going to get.

would an intel core i7 be better with this game than a quad or dual?

i know about the other stuff but SO FAR would these be good pieces? ---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 PM ---------- whats the media drives, RAM, PSU, and case? im not smart with computers. im mainly a console player.

thanks but it might be awhile for me to start deciding exactly what to get. ---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ---------- would these be good? Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 3.0 GHz 12M L2 Cache 1333MHz FSB LGA775 Quad-Core Processor, GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard, Western Digital Caviar Black 1 TB Bulk/OEM Hard Drive 3.5 Inch, 32 MB Cache, 7200 RPM SATA II WD1001FALS. the price for all of this is $566.

really? i swear ive seen those kinds of graphics cards. anyways are there any good cheap graphics cards for around 100 dollars?

what about the ATI Radeon Sapphire?

im trying to save up around 700 dollars but i was wondering if 400 dollars would be good enough. on Amazon i found a Q9650, with motherboard and hardrive for 568 dollars (around there). i have an extra monitor, mouse, and keyboard. i found an ATI Radeon graphics card for 50 dollars at the computer store near me. are those good?
