Ok so my PC is getting fairly old now and I am currently weighing through my options on how to upgrade it. But I have been given a copy of COH 2 recently and I really want to try it out. I believe my system meets all the minimum requirements and to confirm I checked on System Requirements Lab. I was surprised when it said my processor would be the only fault:

Minimum: 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or Equivalent

You Have: Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5400 @ 2.70GHz

Everything else is in the green for minimum settings, it even says my processor speed is good enough to run the game:

CPU SpeedMinimum: 2 GHzYou Have: 2.7 GHz Performance Rated at: 4.05 GHz

I don't understand what the issue is, if my processor speed is more than capable of running the game why does it flag up my processor as and issue? I am not the most knowledgable when it comes to pc parts as I find everything a bit confusing so please if I am being an idiot let me know. Any help would be really appreciated!

I have just finished Hitman Absolution. I have noticed that under the unlocks section of the main menu what I assume to be a mission counter is on 19/20 despite me just finishing the 20th mission. Is this a bug or am i missing something? Is there a section that you play after the credits that counts towards the 20th mission? As i skipped the credits. Any help/info would be great!

Ok of thats what you think is best. As long as a 1gb card will be good enough to play the games I am upgrading for thats all I am fussed about.

Thats what I was thinking of doing. I like the look of the 7770 2gb. Do you have any recommendations on a psu with a good wattage?

i just checked psu calculator and it says he will use 283 watts for a 7770 and a pentium e5400, whereas a 7750 would pull about 223 watts.  Either way he should be fine if his psu is a 350 watt.  If its a decent or even semi decent brand psu he will be more than fine.

The psu is just a bog standard atx model. I  am torn between the 7750 and 7770. Both seem like very good cards capable of doing what I want. I have contacted a couple if local tech companies for advice aswell and if they quote me a reasonable price I will get them to perfirm the upgrade.

I guess I wouldn't be hurting your feelings telling you that your rig is pretty weak and old. If I were you, I'd get an HD 7750 2GB, which is the fastest card you can get that doesn't need auxiliary power. It's miles ahead of your present graphics card, but no so much that it would be massive overkill with your CPU. For about a hundred bucks (66 pounds), you will get much enjoyment with little pain, and your present supply should handle it no problem.

 

The 7770 should be fine as well.

Could you provide links to both the 7750 and 7770? Many thanks if you can!

No feelings hurt at all, I realised it was pretty outdated now. If I could I would just buy a whole new system and try and sell my current one but money is fairly tight at the minute. I like the look of both the HD 7750 and the 7770. To tell you the truth I am a little overwhelmed!
