Sorry for the 2 multi-threads but both are for different questions and all help would be greatly appreciated... I was wondering if this computer would run Final Fantasy XIV: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Compaq+-+Presario+Desktop+/+AMD+Sempron%26%23153%3B+Processor+/+2GB+Memory+/+500GB+Hard+Drive/9963938.p?id=1218202472178&skuId=9963938

It seems like it will...

No, it won't run FF14, that GPU is integrated.

FF14 requires a Geforce 9600 or an ATI 2900 minimum.

No. That PC is garbage. You should never buy a computer from Futureshop/Bestbuy. If you're not computer savvy enough to build a computer yourself, you should check around your neighbourhood for a Computer store that sells parts. Usually they'll build you a computer for practically free (if you buy all the parts from them).

It will barelly play minesweeper

For once that 6150 graphics card is worst than my 11year old geforce2 64mb ( i kid you not )

Then there is the cpu which though it past the minimum requirements thats barely ( despite its 2,7ghz speed ) and its actually one of the slowest modern cpus out there

if you want something cheap and decent enough to play FF at medium/high settings build or look for somethings in the lines

Cpu- Corei3/Athlon x3 ( if you go with i3 look for a $70-80 LGA1156 motherboard or if you go with the athlon look for a cheap $70-80 AM3 motherboard)

Graphics card-Ati 5570 or Ati 5670

4gb DDR3 memory

a decent 350-400W PSu and a decent $30-40 case

Here is a pc that will do if you are not willing to build one for yourself

ibuypower( just choose the 5670 and the 500W power supply in the configurator )

i only used 2gb of ram and though might seem few 2gb are still good enough and RAM is the easiest and cheapest part you can upgrade so you can upgrade it down the road

Also this is without windows installed but if you have an old pc with a legitimate windows installation you can use that windows or if not add an extra $100to the cost of that pc to order it with windows installed

of course if you build it your self with similar parts it will save you about $100 so that will come to only about $450-500

No. You'd struggle to run anything made in the last 3 or 4 years with that thing.
