A question about computers ? Would BF3 easily work ?

[PasterOfMuppets]

So.... Hey all, before i say anything, im sorry for my english : )



So, i want to buy a new computer, and my dads friend said that he will sell me his pc but when i went to his house with money and everything he was like

"no, im really sorry, but i cant sell you it, i need it" and well.... i am angry because for $397.1 i would have a very very good pc, with Intel I5 2500K, Nvidia GTX560, 4GB ram, 1 TB of hard drive. So you can suggest that i am furious. Well, today i thought of doing something with my old pc

My Old PC specs:

AMD, Sempron(tm) Processor 3200+ 1.81GHz
2GB Ram
Nvidia Geforce 7600GS
Asus M200N Series Notebook (Notebook o,O?)


so, as you can see no way BF3 could run on this pc, and well i was thinking of putting some new parts to this old pc i would put

Intel I3 2100, Nvidia GTX 260 and maybe 8gb ram... What you guys think ? is it worth it? Or just earn some more money to buy a new pc... i dont have much money so i was thinking of this idea.

What are you doing about the motherboard?

[PasterOfMuppets]

What are you doing about the motherboard?

well... should i buy another motherboard ? or this is alright ? i dont know, sorry i dont know much about pc's

[pouler32]

Buy new pc if I were you

[Rigby]

Build it yourself. Much cheaper and you get a much better choice of parts.

[Noovaa]

If your willing to put in the work and money, build it from parts. Never buy a computer, you always end up getting ripped off.

On a side note, you need a new everything. That PC was crap even 5 years ago.

This is coming from someone that spent 9 years in schooling for this...

No, no and NO.

If you are going to do anything for a bf3 setup and you are on a VERY tight budget, do not use Intel, Do not use Nvidia.

For about 500$ you could easily make a solid gaming PC (Not high end)...

Use the AMD APU's, make sure its one of the top ones out, sinc that with a so-so graphics card (Radeon HD6550~), Mobo does not need to be anything special, just an F1 socket, Go with 8gb of G-skill 1600MHz ram... Power supply... 450 Watts. Not pretty for the PSU, but it is cheap and it will run everything perfectly fine.

Oh, Western Green drives, get a TB, shitty disk drive, dont matter there...Thermaltake cases can be bought for 40-60 bucks...

All in all... Around 540$ and you could still cut corners.
And it will play BF3 on Medium... Its not bad, but it will work, it plays, will still be quick...

For about 600 you could grab the AMD FX 6200 and an AM3+ Mobo (for 105$ you can get a solid one. Do not get any under it.) and the rest can be the same, maybe a smaller HDD and another SSD.

Boom.
Fast, Cool, Quiet, and all for under 600$

Gotta stop you here.

I5 2500k. Thats fine. Good processor, but overpriced...

Now here is where I wanna smack you.
GTX560?
NO. Just fucking no.

Specs of these cards are just terrible and they are a waste of money. Mem clocks are terrible, poor design and cooling... For the same price you could grab a 7770 and run circles around it... 159$... And it blows it away.

People need to stop looking at names on these things. Read the specs, view the benchmarks. STUDY BEFORE YOU BUY.

Not mad, but it is annoying when people just talking about things they have no idea about...

If you have no idea how to build one yourself, you can go to newegg and hit DIY Combos... Amd based systems for around 530$ and almost what I said earlier...

Very informal.

Although I'd suggest getting a PSU that can handle over 450 watts

better off getting a 560ti or 6850 or better yet a 7850
for the i5?
no
no
no
FX-8120 all the way
8 cores
bro i5 has VIRTUAL cores
FFS

[uwontprevail1]

Ive got an i5 laptop with 4 gigs of ram and a nvidia 540M gpu.
I can run the game at 720p with all settings on low at an average fps of about 30-33

I have an i5 2500k desktop with an EVGA 570 GTX, and 8 gigs of ram.
I run the game at 1080p with 4x AA, and all settings on high at 50-60 fps average.

The game is locked at 30fps anyway so getting xtra fps means nothing, just makes the card work harder and raises your ping

Hahahaha, you made my day!

FPS locked only on consoles, and your ping depends on your internet connection, just FYI.

I use Intel and Nvidia on my monster gaming system and works exerlent on all games not just BF3

Oww and I have the Nvidia gtx 5690 ti hawx beats the crap out of some good cards.

[day-out]

tbf you speak fucking complete BS the GTX560 is a great card. What you are doing is comparing it to some of the best cards out the like the 590 and 6990 thats why you think it is shit. In fact this card is fine for running bf3. Also i agree with you that the I5 and whole I series is overpriced and personally thing you should get the quad core black edition 665 because games don't have the engines to use any more than a 4 core processor and dont get the 6 core because you will not get any different apart from a different price.

further more nvidia is overpriced and would go for a amd graphics and process meaning that you will be able to use amd vision.

[Snowbrdd]

You also forgot the fact that bulldozer is shit.
