Hey there

You can actually run quite a few games on it, of course not at very good settings

I had to game on my Intel GMA 3100 intergrated graphics card that came on a $65 or so motherboard and I could run Far Cry 1 and Fable 1 and such although on lowish settings

Here is a test indicating that you could play Fifa 12, COD MW2 and other but at low settings

Here is some other random test that I found

Hope this helped :)

Whats your budget for the motherboard?

Although judging from your specs it seems you can afford a decent motherboard

Some I can think of

- Asus P8H61 - M LE/USB3

- Intel BLKDH67BLB3

These are not realy the most expensive boards availible, but, are decently priced

The PC version is most definitely on par with the console version.

I must say that Fifa 12 is slightly more challenging than previous games in the serious due to tactical defending, but, it makes the game amazingly realistic and is definitely worth it!

Most definately the funniest American Idol audition ever in my opinion

Yet William Hung is signed and has actually released albums!

Mass Effect 1

Mass Effect 2

Batman Arkham Asylum

Just Cause 2

Arma 2

These are just a few of many excellent games availible. If you are into sports games then titles like Fifa 12 or F1 2011 should tickle your fancy

Just Cause 2 takes the cake in this regard. For one it has like the biggest video game map

I have ever seen and there is so much diversity in the game world from an urban metropilis to thick jungle to white pearly beaches, Just Cause 2 has it all.

GTA IV has a much smaller map size, but, it has a wealth of detail with all the pedestrians actually doing something realistic instead of wondering around like a bunch of mindless zombies like previous iterations.

The S220.1 are pretty good for the price. I'd say go get them. The others ones don't seem to be that mych different and cost more and the S220 have way better reviews.LordsLoss

Yeah I also think the S220 is the better option....Thanks for the input

Let me rephrase that. My budget is about $25. These are apparentely the best speakers in that price range
