  1. Unfortunately the 7025 is integrated, it's complete trash apparently if I did do my research correctly. I was also thinking of upgrading the Motherboard to a ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS Motherboard, to go along with the Radeon HD7750 V2 1GB DDR5. ASUS. (although I'm not sure this is necessary, or if it'll make any difference at all). I'm not particularly looking to do any saving. My goal is to make a computer that'll run ARMA II, mostly because ARMA II is a system squeezer, meaning if I can run ARMA II at low to high settings or anything in-between I'll be able to run just about any other game too. That and I want a PC that I can upgrade and add on to later if needed, as well. EDIT: I also checked out more CPU's, found this for roughly $25 more. AMD Phenom II 965 Quad Core 3.4GHz 8M Socket AM3 25W Black Edition. Would any of the above upgrades increase performance (obviously the GPU would) But would the upgraded motherboard and obviously the CPU increase it substantially?
  2. 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)
