 |
|
my Current build is:
Intel Pentium 4 3.00 GHZ (oc'd to 4.00)
3gb ram
integrated intel G33/G31
edit:
motherboard: Gigabyte G31m-S2L
should I buy a graphics card or Should I just build a new computer
Keep in mind that I am not in US/Canada.
I would like the build to be cheap.
I dont need it to be top-tier just able to run games at low settings.

If you bought this pre-built, do you have the model name/number?

You can buy the Radeon HD 5670 which is around 500 LE and can run Crysis on medium-low settings at around an average of 44fps.

Sorry for being slow I am complete clueless about hardware.

Oh yeah, the stock P4 probably wouldn't handle Crysis at above low settings, but it might since you OC'd it. Some smarter guy will probably be able to help that though.
Also, http://www.egprices.com/ seems like a good place to buy parts from.

It might run the game, but might be slower because the C2D even at 1.86GHZ is faster than 3.6 P4's
