    copy and paste...... is how post a link

    loosingENDS Wisdom:

    My PC is not a gaming PC in the sense that does not have a GPU that will run games in playable frame rates, other than that is a DX11 GPU that will run any game in any setting

    Was xbox 360 based on a 9800 pro of 2003 ?

    No, it was based on a 8800GTX of 2006

    copy and paste...... is how post a link

    The first one linked should handle High settings in all current games no sweat, most even Highest settings. Not a bad price for a pre-built either, but just know that you can get the same parts for less money if you put the pieces together yourself.

    Im not saying those arent great games. Im saying they just didnt have the impact on gaming like console games in comparison. Halo pretty much kickstarted the FPS genre.
