Hello!
I have a couple of questions, I am looking to purchase a new PC and unfortunately I'm unable to build it myself (too busy with school and job) With this said, I have a friend who is able to build anything I can really think of for a good price (or at least I think so) Roughly around $300-500 He has given me quite a few already built options to choose from and ponder over, however I am not too "tech savvy" as it were. My big question is will the following computer be able to play ARMA II, or really anything at all? Keep in mind all that is mentioned is fully customizable to either add or subtract from it.
The specs are as followed:
CPU:AMD Athlon IIX3 455 3.30GHz BOX 95W AM3
Motherboard:GIGABYTE M68MT-S2 Motherboard GF 7025 M.ATX 2D.DDR3, PCIE 16X/PCIE 1X/2PCI RAID,GBLAN,LPT/COM/VGA/PS2 PRT
Memory:Kingston 4GB(1x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz
HardDrive:Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB 16MB 3.5" SATA 6GB/S 7200RPM
Graphics/Video Card:nVidia GeForce 7025
Power Supply:Quality Quiet 500 Watt ATX Power Supply w/Large Fan
There are, of course, other specifications and tidbits like an optical drive and what not but I don't think they're as necessary. I was thinking of upgrading the awful 7025 to something like a Radeon HD7750 1GB DDR5. Question is, will I have to upgrade anything else if I do upgrade the graphics card?
In a simpler way, the specs are.
Triple Core Processor 3.30Ghz, dedicated graphics card (7025), 8GB memory, 500GB hard drive capacity.
Everything here is completely customizable and I'm able to change any component, so if there is a better graphics card that may be older, but faster and cheaper then I'd appreciate any help or advice. Also I'd like to keep it within the already established $300-500 mark. The above listed rig is $350
Thanks in advance for any help or advice given. (apologies for the long list of too in-depth specs)
