Default A Decent Gaming Computer.

And I mean Decent. I'm not one for "super high models and AA and textures" well. I like super high textures. but AA and Model settings, I really don't notice all that much. Jaggies kind of ease my mind and set me back to the point where i can say "This is a game, I know that"

A Decent gamign computer that would run games like TF2, CSS, WoW, Borderlands, with Medium Settings and high textures, that would be fine!!!! for me.

I'm not exactly poor, but I'm not really rich. what would you say for those gaming requirements? an E7200, a 8800? 4770? 3-4 gbs ram?

E8400, HD4770 and 4GB of RAM, but knowing the budget would be nice.

I know games like TF2, CSS and WoW are CPU-dependent rather than GPU so a nice CPU with good clock speed will get you nice framerates.


An e8400 will run nicely, but if you got a lil more to spend then I'd go for i5 (even though the performance diff between i5 and e8400 is marginal) just because the LGA 775 socket is dying off
Again, please state your budget

Thats the thing, A Budget isn't really the problem, I'm asking what specs would get those results or slightly above.

4850 is a great budget card now adays, can get an 8800gt for even less on here if you can find them, and 4870s run for about 100-110 now which should be fine in all of those games
