My computer completly sucks and I honestly don't know anything about the hardware itself like what all it has on... but I have been wanting to buy some new PC games but they arerequire different graphics cards. WTF are these? What do you recommend?
What kind of games do you want? If you want heavy games, like Crysis, Call of Duty 4, or Bioshock, get the 8800GT/S/X. If it's low like Half-Life, Counter Strike, or WoW, get the 7800GT/S/X.
Use Everest Home Edition to find out your basic PC parts, CPU speed, RAM amount, GPU type and go from there & maybe even do a few upgrades if your a fast learner. Get the 8800GT or GTS for the nVidia route or the 3870 for Ati.
Also run 3DMark06 to see how you fair & post back your results. I would say you need to score 10,000+ to play Crysis. You can play Call of Duty 4 since it very tweakable to play on most PCs when you lower the detail levels or just let the game do it for you.
Also check out the sticky thread if you need help on a game you've decided but are still unsure if you can run it.
google CPUZ and run that. It's a completely free program that tells you basically everything you'd need to know bout ur PC. Very self explainable and event tells u the brand of ur MOBO, GPU, CPU, / FSB speeds and RAM etc.
