Thanks guys, I went for the Intel i5 processor instead. Could only afford 4gb RAM once I'd upgraded the CPU, PSU and Motherboard, but I suppose that's easily upgradable if it's a problem. Cheers

Poor, but is it adequate?

Alright guys, how about this for a budget gaming machine; Gallant AMD 4100 USB3. Specs; CPU: AMD FX 4100 Black Edition Operating System: Microsoft® Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Motherboard: Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 RAM: 8GB DDR3 1333mhz (2x 4GB) Hard Drive: 1TB S-ATAIII 6.0Gb/s Optical Drive: 22x DVD±RW DL S-ATA Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1GB Sound card: Onboard 7.1 Audio Case: Xigmatek Asgard PSU: 400W Xigmatek From what I've read the only concern is the CPU, apparently the AMD FX 4100 isn't well regarded. What I want to know is, is it enough to run Operation Arrow smoothly at medium settings? I don't expect maxed out graphics, but a good, consistent framerate is my overall aim. My budget is £500 ($750), and that is the absolute limit to what I can afford. For another £13 I can upgrade the RAM to 1600hz, is this worthwhile? I'm not especially technically adept, so any advice or direction you can give would be appreciated. Cheers.
